Hi, just want to check if anyone knows how much friction there should be with wiper linkage with the wiper motor removed. My wiper motor gave up the ghost appears to have a short between pins 1 and 3.(It pops a 2.5 amp breaker on my 12 volt power supply.) My wipers died on the way home and I am wondering if the wiper friction took the wiper motor out. I can barely get the wipers moving by hand. Is that normal? Seems like a lot of friction to over come for such a small motor. I have one on order, but before I replace it I want to make sure the linkage is not frozen. Thanks
