Wiper troubles!

I have an 84 berlinetta with malfunctioning wipers. When I press the "wiper" button, they work normally, then they start to slow down and stop. The wipers ussually work for 2 minutes before stopping. Once they have stopped, I can't get them started again! I have to let the car sit for a long time before they will work again. Anybody know what is wrong? Thanks.

I had the same problem. I replaced the wiper motor. The problem hasn't been back since.

Thanks. I thought it had to be more complicated then replacing the motor.

nope motor is shot, gets overheated and quits working. most likely cause.

The Camaro Berlinetta wiper motor is NOT the same as any "regular" camaro wiper motor !

You can probably retro-fit a "regular" camaro motor onto your car - but if you try this be sure that you get the Electrical plug along with the replacement wiper motor when you buy it !!!

Good Luck finding one !!
