Sourcing Wiper Motor

Post by bjanakos »

My port wiper does not work...

I flipped around fuses with the other two wipers and it's a no-go. I am looking to source a motor for an F-32. I don't know much about these, but if they are pretty standard, I suppose I can pick one up almost anywhere.

I would make sure it's not the ground at the windshield. I had one the wasn't working and when I removed and hooked up it worked. The front to the frame was loose. I did buy a door moter from Beacon Marine.

I sourced a motor, although I don't need one. But it can't hurt to have a backup....

There is some funky business going on with the electrics. The starboard wiper no longer works, but the center one does. I pulled off the switch panel and got the meter out. I don't aways get a full 12+ volts on the port and starboard switch wires. If I use the center wiper wire, and jump the switch, I can get the two other motors to work. But when I do it with the port and starboard wires, the motors do not work.

Another thing that doesn't work is the panel lights. Although they worked for a moment when I removed the panel, then they just stopped working. I am getting very low voltage at the switch wire. 4-6 volts. I am getting 12 volts at the fuse however.

I am going back tomorrow armed with a couple of packages of fresh fuses and some terminal cleaner. I think I might have to swap out the entire fuse panel.
