      Truck is at home, wiper assembly is out. The bar of the assembly that comes off of the motor post popped its ball from the socket on the opposite end from where it connects to the motor. I bent the arm back to something like the original position and am able to pop the ball back into its socket. Before I do that I'll spend a few moments looking for a new arm. The assembly itself is over $500 at a big chain parts store. A junkyard would be ideal if the truck wasn't essential here in winter, (my snowplow), and junkyards are far from home.

    I have an URGENT Question: This makes no sense. I installed the Wiper Motor pretty much like you explained it. I tested it before putting the shroud and wiper arms back on. The new motor worked perfectly! But then., I had this genius idea that I needed to check and make sure the Arm that connects to the motor was properly tightened. So - I tried fighting it and the motor and arm shifted positions. I couldn't get it to reverse itself to the right position - so I started my truck hoping it would right itself - I heard the motor turn - then my F250 died! It will turn over and over and over., but would not start. What could I have possibly done to cause this? I mean - you can only plug the power into the motor one way - very much foolproof. I would think that the motor fuse itself would blow. This happened this afternoon - I'll check my fuses in the morning - but Wow! I was hoping you'd have an idea of what went wrong. Thank you in advance for your time, consideration, and any suggestions you can give me.

    • @PistonShack
      @PistonShack 2 роки тому +3

      Hey Dave. I would check main Ignition fuse which powers wiper fuse and relay. Most likely that one is blown. Probably when motor tried to turn the arm current spiked and burned the main fuse. Unfortunetelly, I don't have wiring diagram right now. I would remove the wiper motor, set it to the right position, replace fuses as necessary then try to start the truck. Btw, do you have CHECK ENGINE when key turned ON?
      If not could be ECU fuse blown.

      @@PistonShack Well sir - I followed your directions (which is sound and logical). None of the fuses were blown. I just went for broke. Instead of pulling the bracket - I pulled the arm lose from the motor where it sat and adjusted the position - slapped the arm back on, and held the arm in place with a screwdriver while I tightened it back down - as not to have a repeat performance of what got me to this place. I stuck in the key, didn't expect much, but she roared to life! This makes no sense to me how a wiper motor could possibly in any way shape or form, keep the truck from starting up and running.

    If it will only work on high in your intermediate and all that does not work is it for sure your motor

    You should change the title. There is no actual diagnosing in this video and no follow up video.

    ​​@PistonShack ' I did the thest you did in the beginning of your video after i already changed the motor assembly 3 times lol but I only have power if I set the switch in hi position and the power won't go back out until I turn the key off . It help me determine the motor wasn't the problem and I also tried a different switch and relays. do you have any idea what is going on ? Any help would be appreciated

    I have a 1999 f550 test pins on plug ,have three hot pins when ignition is turned on wipers do not work, no intermittent power when switch is on delay. Just power on.Using voltage reader. Does that point towards switch problem?

      Seems like you have issue with GEM module. They known to cause problem s with wipers operation.Check UA-cam for GEM Module.
