got a problem with my wiper motor, it's not been used for a while, and when I tried it, it didn't shift, theres power goin to it but no movement,
I dismantled and rebuilt it, but it moved very slow for about a week, then it stopped working again.
Hopefully it's not gonna be a brand new motor and I'm prayin it's gonna be the bushes that need changin, what ya think???

wash the mechanism down and remove grease, move it by hand to check it turns freely and remove any crud stuck in the bearing points, then re-grease (I used "cavity seal" thined witha little motor oil - a wax-oil similar to under seal but without bitchumen).
Remove the wiper mechanism and grease the inside of the tube, this can get fairly full of crud, and check the wiper mounting points turn freely.
Assemble the whole thing and check it works.

Cheers peeps, but one more little question, whats the rough length the brushes should be, (I'm pretty new to this)
Roughly anything over 10mm is fine (black bit only) otherwise the spring will not be pushing hard enough for a decent contact. If they are chiped, burned or cracked, replace. Also check the comutator ring (the area with the copper contacts the brushes touch) is not damaged, clean and smooth.

Had the same problem on mine motor worked but no movement.Turned out to be a seized o/side gearbox.Take the wipers off and remove the opperating mechanisium strip it down and regrease it all.
