Hi Ralph,
I haven't touched my wipers for decades but, as I remember when I did, the motor and transmission would separate from the cable and housing. This allows you to remove them and work on them out of the car. To remove the cable from its housing, I believe you must remove the wipers so the gears can revolve completely as you pull the cable out (a task necessary if the cable lubricant has solidified or a particular wiper gear of cable section has been damaged.
Good luck,
Ray (64BJ8P1)

The wipers were not working when I purchased my BJ8. The previous owner said it was the motor and disconected the power supply. I pulled the motor and connected it to the battery and it ran fine. I worked the cabel manually and it was frozen. I disasemled the wheel boxes and it turned out to be the passenger side wheel box was rusted tight. I replaed the wheel box, greased the cabel, reconected the motor and the wipers worked fine.

I had a similar problem last year, I kept blowing fuses, I found it best to remove the motor and the cable, but mine was easier because I have BJ7. My problem was that the brushes had worn down to the holders and the holders had eaten into the commutator. I renewed the rubber mounts at the same time, and found that the best way to put them in was to coat them in red rubber grease and use a small screwdriver to ease them into the small holes from underneath the bracket. I had the seat out so it was relatively easy and of course there were no pedals in the way either.

Since you probably have the cover off the gear wheel now, check the grease inside. If it is green and semi hard, that will stop the motor from running. But also, if it has not been run in a long time the insides of the motor could have a lot of surface rust or the brushes are gone. I have taken a lot of these motors apart that don't work and they all come back after clean up.
