Subject:      windshield wipers not working
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I've recently been under my dash working on the A/C and installing a heater
box and needed to disconnect the things on the steering column like the
windshield wipers. Well today after reconnecting everything I tried them out
and nothing. The wiper fluid works (albeit poorly and only on the driver's
side). I need to take a better look to see if I knocked loose a connection
while banging around under there, but thought someone out there may have a
suggestion on where to first look. This also raises the question of ability.
The wipers always seemed really weak. Is there a replacement motor out there
that would work better than the old stock? Or some modification to improve
them? Also, it seems the little nozzles for the wiper fluid or the hose is
freezing up which is blocking the flow to the windshield any solutions here?
I've got the dash off, so now's a good time to tackle these things.
