ashton23l Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 So, i got a 2007 hurricane on a ford chassis, the other day, coming home in the pouring rain, the windshield wipers got stuck on the outside, i turned them off and then back on and it moved but stayed stuck to the outside. i turned it off again and drove into a parking lot to get lunch, i was close to home and figured i would check it out when i got home. since it was raining so hard, i figured the water on the windshield would provide the lubricant needed to allow them to move back to center, i turned them back on after a bit and forgot that i turned them on. i got out and grabbed lunch, when i got back in, the smell of burning plastic was ridiculous. so i turned it off and got home, then after it all aired out the smell was gone, I have not torn the dash out yet, but i am assuming the wiper motor died and the continued electrical current with a bad motor probably started to fry the wires in the dash. how much of this will need replacing? motor obviously and if i can find the wires that got hot, ill change out connectors, but is there anything else?

Ray,IN Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Yes, replace the faulty circuit breaker. Don't cheap out on the motor, buy the same NM torque rating.
