81 CJ wiper help
Now that CJ is out of garage with new tranny, and it rained for the first
time yesterday, I have a wiper problem, they work when they feel like it,
not when I want them to. Anywhere special I should look, or just start at
the switch and work my way forward?

Re: 81 CJ wiper help
I would start with a booster cable from the battery negative to the case
of the motor or the windshield frame.
My wipers have an attitude and it is the hinges for the windshield not
wanting to be a good ground anymore.

Re: 81 CJ wiper help
That could be it since it has a fiberglass tub on it, so will check that
first, thanks Mike.

In addition to electrical problems, look for mechanical. I've had mine
seize up because the motor was not positioned just right.
