Hey guys my windshield wiper motor may have burnt out. I can move it freely now and it will not move when i turn my wipers on, only the passenger side moves. I checked the fuse and the fuse is good. I cant seem to find an access point to swap the windshield wiper motor out. If anyone has some advice or has changed one before please let me know. The rainy season is about to start and I need my wipers lol.
If the motor does run but the wipers don't move it could be one of the joints. Dave did a whole conversion on this a while back, I don't where you are but I do know the LHD and RHD (mine) are totally different http://www.st162.net/forum/showthread.php?3534-Renewing-windshield-wiper-link
Ya those little plastic clips can break and then your screwed so I went hi tech and used a real fancy bearing, I copied the following from another post I did. Now 2 years later and still work perfectly. Heres a problem you may encounter, the windshield wiper drive arms may have their little plastic clips break which means the pivot point doesn't connect properly and your windshield wipers will make a clunking sound as they go back and forth and you can't just buy a new plastic clip. So last year I modified my drive arm but since it got deleted I have re posted it again along with a reliability update. So I found a place online that sold bearings and I got the fancy little one pictured for a few bucks. I used a grinding wheel to get the bearing at the right height a piece of wax paper and a bit of bondo and I was ready to place the drive arm in position another piece of wax paper on top and then a flat piece of metal to shape the top and the final result other side on the other arm I had to drill out the pivot ball and re connected I used a couple of nylon lock nuts to keep them from loosening And those pictures were dated may 2010 and I had never had any problems with the new setup so far and in my opinion the bearing is a better design than the original Toyota design.
