Front wiper motor power

Hi All,

This is my second post, so be gentle. I have a quick question regarding the front wiper motor input power. They packed up the other day and after all the initial checks I decided to check the motor. Now it could be seized but when I check the input power going to the motor, I am only getting 9 volts almost. Which I don't think is enough to turn the motor.

Anyway, wondered if you guys knew what the power should be. I would of thought the full 12 but I may be wrong.

Cheers

you need 12v, check with the connector disconnected,so as to know whether its the motor causing the low voltage

Thanks for the reply James. I didn't think it was enough. That is the power with the motor disconnected. So definitely not enough if need 12v. What would you recommend checking? Guessing the power from the switch itself?

yes ,and the battery, one of the wires at the motor connector should be battery live to enable park
