Hi guys
with winter coming along I will need to fix the wiper motor in my Softtop Sierra

Ive been reading and it seem that it on the passenger side under the console? how do we get to it??

tho it might just be the fuse that has blown as it does not make any noise when I turn the switch on the stalk, where is the fuse box located and is there an indentification on the box?

sorry for the long story
cheers mod

fuse box is under the dash, up in the drivers foot well above the throttle pedal.

its easier to fold the wind screen down to get to the wiper motor, thats the way i have done them before.

it could also be a dead switch in the steering colomn

last time the windscreen was downn took me 1/2 to put the softtop back on lol had to REALLY pull down on it aye, will give that a try tonight

I assume on the fuse box there be markings on the front of the box stating what is what?

[tanshi]

yeah there are markings, im not sure that one says "wiper motor" though, is every thing else working fine just the wiper motor thats not?

[rexxar]

yeah the washer still squirts and all
moving the stalk or the switches ont he stalk does nothing lol
this is the only electical problem I have beside wiring the spoties but the tech thread helped alot

lol i went hunting the other day and put the front screen down for the first time and saw the wiper motor there
my mate was like did you know it was there im like fuck no lol

First time I put the screen down, I hear this pop and a bit of the dash goes flying, then I realise it's just popped the cover out of the dash!

That said I forget to take it out every time I fold the screen down and pop out it comes.

Shit it will make it easy to change if ever I need to swap it!

You should try getting to it from a hard top... Especially getting to the linkages..

take the whole top off, it's meant to be fitted from the front, if your lazy & try to only take the front off, it will take you 3 time's longer, defeating the purpose of being lazy..

Also check the earth wire, as the hinge's are plastic, Suzuki ran an earth wire to the motor so it would still work with the support's from screen to B pillar removed..

[rexxar]

didnt get time do even had a look last night, will also check the earth

suzuki has some weird as fcking wiring nothing like other car ive done aye
wiring the spotlight was a mission but luckly found that tech thread.

I did take the whole soft top off but its soo old and not Stretchy enought lol
