82 Z28 Wipers dont work.

Hey all, got an 82 Z28 Indy replica. The wipers will not work. I hear the click of the relay when i turn the switch. but nothing happens. All the wires are hooked up, and its a brand new wiper motor.

Before i replaced the wiper the motor it did the same thing. So obviously i wasted my money.

Also there is large lack of help for the 82 model year. Please help. this is my everyday driver for now.

Re: 82 Z28 Wipers dont work.

Are you sure the arm at the back of the wiper assembly was re-connected correctly to the wiper transmission ?? It's possible to get the wiper transmission jammed when installing the motor. it could have been installed wrong - then you installed another motor the same way it was,.... wrong. ( anything is possible ! )

I'd disconnect the wiper motor arm and then try the switch. I'd also manually cycle the wiper arms while it's apart to be sure they are not jammed somehow.
