Hello All,
first post!!!
I have a 2004 3500 Open. My Port and Center Wiper motors have been slowing down (Going on and then shutting off)....I purchased two new Marinco/AFI motors, arms and blades. When I removed the port motor I checked the voltage coming out of the Tiara windshield trim - 3 wires...There was a yellow (ground), pink (hot) and brown (park). I noticed when putting voltmeter to yellow and pink I received 12.75 volts. However when I went yellow and brown I only got 3-4 volts. I got the same results with the center motor, except center park wire gave me 6 volts. Does anyone know if the voltage is supposed to be less in the "park" wire since I assume it does not require much? I have cut wires back a bit and tested - no substantial gain in voltage.
Also, Im assuming that I have a ground issue in the port motor since eventually the park wire gave me less than 1 volt.
Has anyone ever experienced these issues? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks BB
