Ok, I just want to get the list opinion on the motor, (thanks to those who offered to pull/sell one) and make sure I am replacing the right thing.

To anyone who has replaced one (or had one go bad)

The wiper feels like a gear is stripped inside. When off, I can turn the wiper at least 180deg with no resistance, while the one that functions doesn't move at all. If it was just the motor, wouldn't there still be some resistance, or is this the typical symptom of a bad motor - it is one of the few things I haven't had break on one of my cars...

This may be a stupid question, but I just don't have the funds to get a "professional" opinion right now. Besides, y'all have a lot more experience with vans than my current "professional" :)

Mark 87 Westy 84 Rocco (140k&still does 110mph:)- found that out last night....
