a '94 wiper motor
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 11-May-02 AT 05:26 PM (EST)]My windshield wiper motor died on my 94 explorer, in a rain storm...of course! After I drove with my head out of the car, Jim Carey style, I went to the junk yard for a new motor. Took the bolts out, yrt the motor did not pop out?! Looks like there is a cotter pin holding the wiper arm to the back of the motor. I can not seem to get to it. The pin is hidden under the peice of truck that is between the hood and the windshield. Do I have to take that peice off? If so where are the bolts holding it on? If not any idea how to release the motor to change it out? Thanks for any help!!!
