Q: you buy a new wiper motor. the spline is part of the motor shaft. or if you are cheap! you jb weld the wiper arm to the old motor shaft = in the correct position of course but once you have done that you will never be= able to replace that wiper arm just the blade. on wed 23 mar 2005 164231 -0800 private person ries@ccountry.net wrote i have a 94 dodge grand caravan with 217k miles on it. it was doing pretty well until today when in the rain the rear wiper = did the point to the ground thing. after playing around and blowing the wiper motor fuse especially when = it insists on trying to clean the trunk lid and not the window it appears = --=20 after pulling on and removing the wiper arm -- that one of the parts is stripped there is a knurled rod coming out of the wiper motor/gasket/window = which appears to be a press fit on to a cap which fits into a larger knurled socket in the wiper arm itself. its the interior of this socket the one that goes over the knurled = motor arm which appears to be stripped at least the interior is smooth -- i dont know if it was always smooth knurled or glued. this larger cap socket has some sort of flat retaining mechanism to keep it from coming = off the motor shaft or course this doesnt work if the shaft socket itself = is stripped. my questions are for any one who has a manual or has done this repair 1 the motor seems to be ok. left on its own w/o the wiper arm = attached it definitely does the correct back-n-forth motions. 2 will buying an new wiper arm solve my problem 3 from what i can see there in no way to remove the wiper arm socket = that has the retainer clip itself. so ill assume that a new wiper arm = contains this socket and its my job to press-fit a new arm/socket assembly over = the motor shaft. 3 based upon what has happened so far the wiper arm to wiper motor = shaft must be a pretty tight fit. how do you safely press-fit it back on the = motor shaft w/o fear of doing harm to the lift gate glass thanks in advance. .

seems a tad on the low side. now you have me thinking that if you had some sort of high current draw = on your battery & your charging system is not charging the battery = correctly the high amp draw on the battery would deplete the electrolyte in the battery also. but! if that were to be the case at some point you wouldnt have enough= of a charge left in the battery to start your vehicle. so! i think that = shoots that down. look forward to bringing it in for service can you qualify for a home = equity loan you may need it to facilitate total repair of this problem. ;- on thu 24 mar 2005 091059 -0600 slick willy = ddumbassbendover@yahoo.com wrote well i finally was able to check out the voltage on my battery ... = sorry=20 for not having exact numbers its not a digital multimeter. engine off no accessories - 12.5=20 engine running - 13 1997 sfa 60920 199819992000200120022003 ama 602785 due to e-mail spamming bots my reply address is incorrect. add a - between mr and wizard this is what we have to do to prevent spamming sucks doesnt it .
