Default Checking windshield wiper/washer motor on a 66 GTO

Anybody know how to trouble shoot a windshield wiper motor on a 66 GTO?? Can you run jumper wires from the battery and where do they go. This has 2 speed wipers and windshield washer. Just want to know if the wiper motor is good.
Thanks,
Fred

Fred, I can't help out on testing it but.....

If you do need a replacement, go to NAPA. They will have them, or can get them, and they'll work right out of the box. Stay away from the likes of Auto Zone. I went thru 4 of theirs that were no good. Napa's worked like a charm.

You're welcome Fred, and good luck. I hope someone can tell you how to test it and save you some money.

Is it the original date coded motor?

I'm not sure if it's doable or anyone does, but maybe there's a place to have yours rebuilt Fred. Someone should know.

All I know is that the ones from NAPA are painted as the originals were, and are far less expensive than anywhere else you can get them from. Plus they work the first time right out of the box.

Date code would be stamped in yellow ink on the side facing the engine compartment. It should be a Julian date such as 343 65 or there is a foil decal on the side nearest the fender that would also have a Julian date for the build. For rebuilding www.WiperWorks.us
