I just pulled my wiper motor, how do I test if it works?

 

If it isn't the motor, then would it be a problem with the switch?
The other 2 rocker switches (fog & defrost) work so i don't think it's that.

 

there are 4 wires going to the unit..two for power..2 for intermittent speeds??

 

When I got my Jeep the wiper arm was missing. The locking nut of the wiper arm was still on, and when I tried to undo it, the spindle broke.

Got a second hand arm. Drilled a little hole in the spindle, threaded it, bolted everything together and now I've got a proper working rear wiper.

Getting the complete wiper arm with the spray nozzle still attached was a bit of a pain. Lots of people out on the internet selling rear wiper arm without those bits.

Mine didn't work either when I got it. I started spraying PB Blaster on the shaft while moving the wiper arm, jiggling really but it started moving kept that up until it was free. now it works fine.

 

Mine works...and I use it.

 

Nice, my dad was following me home when i bought mine and was yelling, didn't realize the hose was off......and yes mine works, but i need a new blade and I guess you can only get them at the dealer is that true?

 

I am assuming mine still would work, if the switch wasn't broken. Need new one.
Just too lazy to get to it, small thing.
The defroster still works.

 

You can get a blade at your local parts store, hell I was able to order a new wiper arm from Oreilly's as well

 

I got one that was the right size, autozone i think, but the adapter wouldn't fit the arm. none of them would. I'll try somewhere else then, they didn't have a specific "rear window" one.

 

I don't have one.. But I have a hole in my hatch where one should be. Lol

 

look for a base model at the junk yard, its just a plug that goes in the hole

 

Interesting that you say that. My XJ is a base model, with odd options I guess.
4.0L/ aw4/231, manual windows/doors, gauges with dummy lights (swapped for a full gauge cluster), actual carpet not that vinyl.. kinda wish it was tho.
I have a rear wiper ( the arm itself was missing when I bought it, but the fluid sprays and the motor works. )

 

Yep, seems alot of people scour the junkyards when they're looking for parts. Aparently the PO of mine did, was looking under the hood the other day and noticed some AMC parts, like the power steering pump

 

got pulled over like 30 minutes one time when I did this, some observer in the other lane saw it and called in my plates
