Hello fellow Iboaters,
I have a question for you guys and gals. anyway, I own a new to me, 1995 Honda Civic DX, 4-door sedan and am having issues with my windshield wipers not working in intermittent and low speed settings but they do work on high speed, mist, and water pump spray settings. also, they do not park or go back to home position on there own and I have to manually place them back to home position by turning the knob on the stalk back and forth to high speed and off position. Anyway, I did some troubleshooting to the best of my ability and think my wiper motor is bad in the intermittent and low speed sections. What I did today is removed the wiper motor and discovered heavy, light brown, corrosion around the motors windings and the brusheswires. So I am thinking my problem lies inside the wiper motor and the switch is good to go. Also, for the switch, I did notice that when I put it on intermittent setting that I got a click immediately and then a click on or about every 5 seconds underneath the drivers side dash area. So I am leaning more toward the wiper motor being my problem becuase of the heavy light brown corrosion I found inside of it today. Since I am low on money I went ahead and reinstalled my current wiper motor back on my car since my high speed works on my wipers just to get me through til October 1st so I purchase a re-manufactured wiper motor and replace it then. Let me know what you think and if I am going into the right direction concerning replacing my corroded wiper motor. Thank you, Bob
