Electric wiper motor problems

[vincentbsll]

I am having a problem with my wiper motor. This will be the second time it has sheered the bolt off of the output shaft. Has anyone encountered the same problem or know of a fix. The electric wipers were military installed before it was auctioned.

Do you have the right bolt torqued down...? I've never had a problem on my electric wipers (yet)... I've had and seen lots of problems with the air operated system...

Are either one of your wiper arms binding or seizing? That electric wiper motor is pretty powerful, and will break stuff if the system is binding.

I haven't noticed any binding in the wiper arms. I took the wiper motor off yesterday and this time it busted the square side of the output shaft. Not sure if its repairable this time.
