There's always that one that can still screw something up no matter how fool proof it is.....

Probably.

I found out my problem is i did not pay attention to the FSM. A little thing called indexing would have saved me a problem. The motor worked fine, until it did not. I bought the wiper motor some years ago from kim, passion4mopars. Not dissing her, but i cycled the wipers a handful of times, and the motor stopped working. Switch is fine, wires are correct in the connector : green, red, blue, and brown. 1967 B body, variable speed wipers.

I paid attention to detail on everything but the wiper install. Damn bouncing betty.

One of the things I like to do when I'm working on the wipers like when I'm trying to get them to park is to wax the windshield real good and then put paper towels under the blades so there's not much drag. That reduces a bunch of load on the motor.....
