Hi all,

The wipers on my SJ413 have ceased to work, how do i tell if i need a new motor or if it is something else causing the issue? And if i need a motor for the wipers does anyone out there have one for sale?

Thanks,
Pierre.

Without stating the obvious, have you checked the fuse?

well good luck to you if you start getting linkages out as thats a pain, can you hear any noises from the motor if you turn the wipers on? like the motor trying to turn and try move the wipers with your hands when the switch is turned on. might help free it up a little. i have a spare motor or 2 here if you need one.

So i have fixed the wipers, it was caused by the linkages from the motor to the wipers ceasing up and then the motor burnt out. New motor and cleaning the linkages and greasing them up has fixed it.
