last year someone gave me a rear windshield wiper motor from their eclipse they soldi have the base model that came w/o a rear windshield wiper, but it has both the connectors for the motor and for the switchbefore putting a hole in my rear hatch i wanted to make sure it would worki hooked both of them up, but no activity from the motor. do i need to put a fuse in the fuse box for it, or is the motor more than likely junk?
Why mess with the rear wiper thing in the first place? Not many customers use the rear wipers and drilling a hole in the metal is asking for rust. Check the switch connector for power with a test light, or just hot wire the motor to test it.
This is not an easy install. Messing with you fuse box could cause your whole electrical system to blow. You will have to string wiring from the back hatch to the dash. Then hotwire the switch and the wires to test your motor. You will also need to find a open spot in you fuse box and clip in the wiper's power to the fuse box. I think a 10 amp will be sufficient. If your motor will not work, then use a amp meter to test if you did the work right. In my opinion, the rear wiper is a good thing to have during the winter months, but this install is not worth all the trouble.
HAHAHAHAHHAHA!! Thats me!!!! :-) i'm able to alter the oil in my automobile in approximately 15 minutes, yet I even have this style of project with those snap on windshield wiper blades! i don't be attentive to why it is so troublesome! I would desire to get help from my little brother it fairly is embarrassing! :-) ** how did you be attentive to of my shame!
