They work normally but this is my 1st XJ (88). Doesn't matter if its wet or dry. Are they known for slow wipers normally?

TIA

Im sorry i dont have an answer but I have the same problem in my '90 theyre normal till you get to the steady on type then thery're slow and even slower when you click it to the faster setting. I have no idea but I second your question....

mine move fast if i turn them up to the highest setting.
but idk on the delay settings it moves pretty slow though....but i dont know what is slow for you?

my 87s work just fine so I can't help either

mine work fine till i get to the steady on settings then they take about 2 full seconds to go up then down. then when theyre turned on to the highest setting the go even slower...

Go to the jy and get yourself a pulse module,it is located under the dash and has vlcro on it,all wiper and washer functions go through it,they are very cheap,they want about $70 for them at the autoparts.
If your wipers work in all settings,then it could also be the motor.

Dr.Watson

oh well then idk...haha.

I'm sure mine are working normally and wiper motor seems okay. But on slow (I have no delay, mine is a very "Base Model") they take about 3 seconds to make a full cycle and about 2.5 seconds on high. This seems very slow.

I could always pull the motor and redo the windings to speed it up but that is such a PIA.

Any model Jeep wiper motors that are faster that I could swap into this?

BUMP:???

Mine are slow as well. Any quick fix for this?

Mine are fairly slow as well. Compared to other vehicles I have driven. I always thought it was the motor and am just waiting for it to crap out.

Motor is going.


I have to replace mine,, haven't gotten to it yet, but there is no rain here hardly ever so i don't use it much now.

get one at jy and see what happens.....

my 2 cents worth.

Mine on my 88 seemed a but slow also, but never thought about it. They are faster than the vacuum operated ones on the 46 Ford I drove. Went a whole winter without em and barely any heat. So Im happy with mine. LOL

Try adding an additional ground wire from your negative battery terminal to the body as the wiper motor draws a fair bit of amperage compared to other items..

Renix XJs are notorious for poor grounding through the body. Never hurts to add an additional cable from where the braided POS is from the firewall to the rearmost bolt of the fuel injector rail either. Be sure to scrape the paint off under the mounting bolt on the firewall while you're at it.

i put a new motor on mine and its like night and day. I changed my motor once my blades started like skipping across the window. Almost as if they were pausing for less than a second.

i have a 90 and they are super slow on the delay and even slower when steady on they are so slow that they dont even go all the way down when they are turned off i have to do that by hand

my wife has a 87 and the are blistering fast in any setting
