Re: 98 Caravan, Wiper problem

Thanks for the responses. I got a new wiper motor and installed it. I am not very mechanically savvy, but I got it done. I had some screw ups that I will post to maybe help others who try it.
The plastic that goes over the wiper arms, is very fragile (I broke both of them)
Make sure to unhook the hose (I broke that too)
The wipers come off kind of hard, I got frustrated and kind of pried on them with a pair of needle nose pliers and a piece of wood.
In order to get the motor out, you need to take off the nuts on the linkage to the right and to the left since one of the tubes is part of the wiper motor mount.
Make sure you remember exactly where the wipers were, and exactly where the little are on the motor was (I put everything back together and it wasn't even close) and had to tear stuff apart 3 times.
Other than that, it is not horrible
Good luck
