I was able to rebuild my motor...once. Lasted about two years, and then its second life ran out.
I don't see them in your photos, but you can coax the two big magnets out of the housing, clean it as best you can, then epoxy them back in. Your other options are to buy an NOS part if you can find one, get one from a junkyard (which may not be in any better shape than yours) or come up with a more radical solution. I ended up using a new, good sized DC motor that I coupled to the wiper drive shaft with a chain drive arrangement. It works fine, but it has only one speed, doesn't park itself, and sounds like a chain saw running when it's on. Good luck with it. John 1987 XJ-S V12 |

That looks totally rebuildable! It’s when they eat the magnets that they get difficult to fix. I wouldn’t toss it.
remove all rust with phosphoric acid, neutralize, clean, lubricate and reassemble. Then seal the damn thing. You’re missing the plastic cover for the motor and gearbox. The repair won’t last long un-sealed and uncovered. If the new one you get from a member comes with a cover then great! Otherwise seal it, or it’ll do the same. |

I sprayed them with white lithium lubricant to create a barrier to oxidation.

I use graphite grease to lubricate computer fan motors, I'd use it for any small electrical motor. It will lubricate even when it dries off.

Ok got the motor lubed, transmission lubed and all back together, went to re-install it and noticed the wiper park switch was all corroded and crumbling in my hand, Does anyone know how i can directly wire this up without using the park switch ( WIRE TO WIRE ) Thanks

I’m picking up a Jeep Assembly next week and I’m going to try altering it to fit. If I’m successful I’ll post updates |

Well I’ve got the donor assembly and I’m trying to figure out the wiring. So far I’ve got low and high speed but no park, and I’m going to have to shorten the donor assembly about 2-3 inches but I don’t see that being much of a problem

found the perfect lube for the motor
I have found the perfect lube for the wiper motor ( internal and external parts ) works on lubing electrical components.
