Wipers kaput

Hello,

On the way home in our E350 during a snowstorm, the wipers quit. I stopped and checked the fuse which was ok. I could hear the module click when I plugged/unplugged the fuse. The washer also works. I am thinking that the motor is bad and not the module. Anyone experience this or have any thoughts?

Thanks

Most wiper motors have a control module build into the motor itself.

Depends on what year, which you Didn't post..........

I've replaced wiper motor just for this problem, it's not a really hard job, just kind of frustrating trying to work in the very small space and unhooking and re-hooking the linkage back together. And, also a good time to check the linkage for wear, there are bushing kits available for "re-building" the linkage and a good time to do that also.
