Windshield wipers not working properly
Hi,
I have a 2017 caravan. Intermittently the wipers would move really slow on all settings, then work as normal. Now they stuck 4/5ths of the way up.
I got them down, removed the cowel and hit with a healthy amount of white lithium grease. They went halfway anf stopped again. I applied it at at different positions of the wipe cycle, gently moving the arms by hand. I'm letting it soak and awaiting results.
I hear the relay, motor tries without any indication of slipping, fuse is good and the switch works. Trying to avoid motor and/or assembly replacement if possible.
Any thoughts?

Was the transmission/linkage. Put a new one in and works as it should.
