Update. I messed with these wipers some more. It's a 1993 Ranger so it's got a wiper governor and a 6amp circuit breaker. Before I did anything this time I just tried to turn them on without the wiper arms hooked up and everything worked normally at all speeds. I thought everything was good so I installed the wiper arms close as I could to how they are parked on my 1998 Ranger since there's no lines on the windshield like on my Dakota and I didn't have anything to measure with me. Well then I tried to operate the wipers again and instead of wiping correctly they went down further on the cowl and quit. After that I took off the arms and tried it without them again but they don't do anything. You can hear the governor relay under the dash clicking on the interval setting but that's it. I got two extra governors from the junkyard and I tried both of them but it still does the same thing. I'm not sure how to rule out the 6amp circuit breaker. It's quite expensive. It's a fully charged fairly new battery. I'm getting battery voltage at the wiper plug with the switch turned on. The washer feature sprays but of course nothing moves. Could the new motor actually be locked up? I couldn't move the crank arm by hand. Could it be a bad switch eventhough the turn signal, hazards, and washer feature works? Does the clicking tell anything?
