Well, I had fun this weekend. I noted that the window wiper motors that came
with the car (yes, two of them) were quite dirty and sounding like they were
scratching something on the inside. I tested both of them, one is an earlier
model, and one that is for my BJ8. They both ran. I then took apart the BJ8
and cleaned it but it would not run after I put it back together. So I took
it apart again and cleaned some more. Took all the old grease out and
replaced it. Now it runs! I ran it off a battery charge for 29 min at a 2
amp rate. It shut down at 29 min and was very warm. I was wondering if once
it got warm, it started needed more than the 2amps. The book says it takes
2-3.2 amps. I hope not to drive in the rain but I think the wipers should
last at least 30-45 minutes just in case. Once it cools a little, the unit
starts back up just fine.
