I'm in the process of getting my '70 roadster back on the road after a
two-year absence therefrom.
This morning was to have been the first drive in the rain; the wipers
weren't in the mood.
When I hit the switch, they all went up -- and stayed there. The wiper
motor made a few clicking sounds, but the wipers stayed in their fully
extended position.
I lifted the blades off the glass, and the motor would again move
freely, but the added drag of even one blade on the glass stopped it
cold, and started the clicking sounds again.
I understand the basic workings of the wiper motor, but I'm not sure
where to start with this. What's the basic problem here? And more
importantly, what's the solution?
Many thanks,
Matt
