<VV> WIPER PROBLEM

[Charlie]

Just  theory, but ...

Since it "frees up" by moving the wiper, and therefore the linkage, to a new spot, it sounds like it could be the linkage is loose and jamming at that point, more likely than a bad spot on a motor that spins much more quickly than once per pass of the wipers?

This will need the cowl panel removed which will be tough to do with frozen fingers though, so time to shovel the snow blocking the garage (or bring it out here where snow is not even in our dictionary :<{?

Good luck - wish I could help! (Back in Watertown, NY, I'd go skiing and snowmobiling without gloves for better control, so I'm used to the cold, so no problem if I could get there!)

Subject: <VV> WIPER PROBLEM

Today my wiper stopped at mid stroke.
Was about 10 outside. I wanted to wash the window. The wiper only got 1/2 way thought the first stroke and stopped. The fuse is OK. By gently pushing the blade back down a few inches (taking the slack out of the mechanical linkage) it will move back by the motor and stop at exactly the same place.
 I have spare '69 motors but what else could it be? I can't get it into my work garage due to the drifted snow and would not like to work outside today. Any suggestions?.  _______________________________________________
