1999 Ranger and the wipers stopped working the other day. Did one wipe, paused and then did it two mores times, but only on high. Then it died.
I guessed it was probably the motor since it was a used replacement the p.o. put on (has writing from a junkyard on it)
So I bought another used one to test my theory before paying for a new one. It did the same thing. It worked a couple times and stopped.
So far:
fuse #16 is good, washer sprays
Both relays click when key is turned, swapped with different relays and they both worked as well.
When the motor is plugged in and laying on the intake it works like it's supposed to.
the Red and White wires tested good with 12v and the Dark Blue/Orange shows just slightly over 11.
the light blue shows 3v (GEM?)
Any ideas? GEM is bad?
The linkage moves freely with no motor attached.
