how much power runs that motor???

12V

 

K dumb question

everything runs on 12V

 

ok hooked the motor to a 12v power supply and it worked fine

but that was after taking the motor apart to look for a problem. so did I fix the problem?

I dont wanna try it in the truck and blow my last fuse

 

you gotta try it sometime.

 

i did it blew

still workin on this one.

 

The motor is 12 volt but it has a few sets of windings, and some contacts that are used to "park" the wipers when you shut them off. You can have a short in any number of places. You need to find a schematic and use a tester to help pinpoint the problem.

Perhaps check the junk yard, or Ebay for a replacement motor?

Good luck with your ride.

 

ok got the new motor and put it in.

all working thanks for the help everyone

 

Cool beans.

Good luck with your ride.

 

Just as a point of posterity, the question about how much power does it use was actually a valid one. Yes, everything runs on 12V, but that's potential not power. Power is watts (P=IE), so in theory the motor could use up to 20A * 12V = 240 Watts. Although my guess is that it runs on half that most of the time. You could put an ammeter on it though and check it out =)
