Slow Windshield Wipers?

[Rabbit16v@attbi.com (Rabbit16v)]

It means the motor is getting weak.  It isn't using the power that it's been
given efficiently so it's loosing a bunch of the power in resistance, etc.

Sometimes you can clean up the armature and replace the brushes (if you can
find any) and just generally clean the whole motor assy up (there are
special electric motor cleaner sprays).

What I would do?  Put another assy in until I found a good one.  I'm cheap
though!

    Anyone know why the windshield wipers would operate much slower than
normal?  Even on the highest setting they are nowhere near the speed they
should be.  Are there bushings that wear out or lubrication points?
    Additionally, the voltage seem fine and everything else seems to operate
properly.
Thanks,
