Used the car for the first time in ages over the bank holiday weekend, and took it to work Tuesday, that morning, used the wipers, it did half a sweep then packed up with the arms pointing skywards.
FFWD to today, and I have a play, taken motor and linkage out, cleaned the brushes and commutator regressed everything, sorted power, all good I think, put it all back, try wipers and success, it works. For 5 seconds, where the arm is now jammed up against the plunger for the vacuum delay. Odd I think, as its never done it before, and I've not touched that side. Now, it looks to me as if the motor is now turning clockwise, but before it looked as if it was turning anti clock, which when rotated manually that way, the arm pushes plunger in without catching. I've not changed the wires in the plug, so I have no idea why suddenly it seems to be running backwards, so, any ideas what I've buggered up motor wise? TIA
