Non-E30 tech question: '91 Nissan pickup

Wiper Motor. 28815-01G00 - $178.84 cost. $296.90 list.

The arms would move together, as there is only one wiper motor on the truck.

[SpecM]

yea, do they (each arm) move together or indapendantly?

[delatlanta1281]

sounds like your motor is going. Is it making any noise like the gears being stripped? Are the arms screwed down seculrly?

I have a '91 Nissan pickup, and yesterday, the windshield wipers quit working. When I turn them on, the arms still lift up and down slightly, but only about a 1/4", and the blades don't move at all. It's like the motor doesn't have enough power to move them. If I manually move the arm by giving it a little nudge on the upstroke, the arm will move across the windshield, but won't come back down. And when I do this, the other arm doesn't do anything at all. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
