Question:

2000 kia sportage windshield wipers quit,replaced motor and nothing,fuses checked good,please advise?

the old motor would move them a inch then quit,the new one does nothing.any ideals?

Answer:

wiper switch is bad, you can find out if you can run the wipers with some direct jumpers from the battery.
am i the only one who heard him say he wants a long lasting floor? ten years ago only the worst of hacks would use cement board on floors, i'm not even gonna talk about tiling on plywood. now everyone uses it on floors and they last about five years. what happened to mudding floors? lasts forever! much cheaper too. thought it was the rule! too many weekend warriors in the trades these days thanks to the home depot. what's next, perhaps a medical depot? mabye they'll start selling do it yourself surgery or cast in a can . sounds crazy but if it happened tomorrow you guys will be answering medical questions just as recklessly. stop reading labels as answers. don't any of you wanna see proof anymore? get real people. long lasting floors require tar paper, lathe, portland and sharp sand as a base. not cement board and certianly not glued sawdust or woodchips!
Use the cement board. You may be able to get away with plywood if you were using an adhesive for attaching it, but if you use thinset, the wood will pull the moisture out of it and crack.
The combination switch ( the one that controls the wipers) is bad
checked the fuse turned out good replaced the motor my question is was it new or used well you can jump the wipers by using direct battery power to the motor if wipers work then this should be your wiper switch on the steering column.be cautions when jumping that wiper motor.
