jsut the motor or just the arms? the motor and arms are basically a assembly reach way up under the dash and remove the four bolts holding the motor cage onto the firewall and unhook the wiper arms from that or remove the wiper arms from the cowling witht he thee bolts each under the dash that go throught the cowl. disconnect the wiring at the switch.

I would add that you should remove the negative cable from your battery. Those wiper actuator arms can really tear up your hand if they move unexpectedly.

Pull the instrument panel first. Much easier to get at things that way.

Also remove the ashtray. One of the bolts is kind of behind it.

Hey Hinkle...

Were you able to find a replacement motor?
Just to echo the other guys...

Remove the battery cables...
Remove the instrument panel...
You can remove the ash tray as well...
You will see the bolts that hold the motor in.
I can't remember if you have to pull the arms or not.
It seems like you can just pull the motor without having to remove the arms.

Good luck...

i was able to find a wiper motor, and i pulled it out of the old truck, and i hooked it up to my truck, and it didnt work!!!!!!

bad switch? bad fuse? did you test both motors while they were out to direct 12 volt battery?

[Hinkle]

...where's the fuse for the wipers? that could be all thats wrong, cuz when my truck went underwater, almost every single fuse broke. i looked and looked and looked for the fuse, and couldnt find it!

[rjewkes]

i think its wiper and something else combined. second fuse in the box. is marked BU lamp turn W/s Wash.

Actually there is NOT a Fuse for the Wiper Motor only the Windshield Washer... The Wipers use a circuit breaker that is built into the Wiper Switch, it gets its power from the ignition switch.

Not sure what year your truck is but look at this diagram http://www.fordification.com/images/sch ... washer.jpg and if you take the switch out and use a test light on the connector (with the ignition turned on) test 763 to see if the switch is getting power...

If it is getting power to the there then plug the switch back into the connector and check the outputs of the switch, wires 58 and 28 that will let you know where the problem is...
