Wiper motor

right up front guys im gonna apologize i dont think this thread belongs here.but ill just go with it.. i dont drive in the rain so i dont use my wipers alot. figure id start using the car a little more so im getting the wipers going.. the motor sounds like its in pain lol and hardly moves the wipers at an idle. but once im up to a solid rpm the wiper speed picks up and stays steady till i slow back up. is this a bad motor? or are the shafts crap from sitting, altenator and batt are brand new its deffinetly not them.. thanks guys!

Re: Wiper motor

I'll be watching this one. I can't imagine what would make the wipers speed up the faster you drive, and slow down the slower you drive, besides system voltage. You seem to be implying that with a new alternator and battery, that voltage is fairly constant. If that is true, I'm not sure where else I would look.
