Ok, 5 miles from home mien wipers started jumping around like when the windshield was dry, you know kinda jummpy.  Well by mile 4 they were barely moving, turned them off, pulled into a station, lifted the arms and turned them on and they will not move but just a little bit...
Seems to be binding.  I had been hearing this humming noise and was unable to locate the sound over the past few days.  Know I know what it was...
So, I am thinking that the motor has died or is terminal.  Is this a pain in the butt to change?
I am not leaning toward the linkages at this time because they have been working just great this past 10 months or so.  

Any suggestions, driving that last 4 miles was a PAIN, almost litterally.
Thanks,
KC

I have seen more wiper shafts lock up than motors burn out.  Take your wiper  arms off and clamp some vice grips on the shafts ,  turn on the wipers and help them to move. You can tell which one is sticking by the shuttering feeling. I have free'd  up a lot shafts by spraying "PB Blaster" on the shafts while "pecking" on the end of the shaft with a small hammer.(easy here)  If they free up oil them down and let them run for awhile.
      All this is worth  a try before you yank the  unit out.   I'm going to bet you have a stuck shaft.

Wow !!!   Out of the mouths of newly wed's yet :lol:  :lol:
