Windshield Wiper Motor

[Atreus]

Does anyone have a used one, locally?

Mine went out, i'm trying to diagnose the problem, as i keep blowing fuse#5 or w/e. but i dont wanna drop the 180 online for a brand new one...

Any tips, suggestions?

Thanks.

Can't be that bad. It's all about angles though.

I've just heard from a few people first hand. I have never done the job myself.

The E36 one is super hard, until you know how to do it. Then it's a 30 minute drill.

found a motor.

worst fucking job ever. especially with no power to get the shit in the right orientation.

worst. three. ten. mil. bolts. ever.

It took awhile before i realized it was a spline drive connection, how the hell do i put that back together? I can't imagine how reinstalling one would go.... can't use enough force to get the stuff together securely i would think.....

You remove the whole assembly as one piece from the car, and install as one assembly. Otherwise, you're going to have a bad time.
