.... and the dealer wants $1,000 to fix it! When I turn on the wipers, they go up about two inhes and then stop; it's not the fuse and even the dealer says the motor is OK electrically, and that it's a 'mechanical' issue. But they say they can only replace the entire assembly (motor and linkage) and I think that's insane given that something physical is catching inside. Could it be a bolt that loosened and is now interfering with the linkage? A pebble or piece of metal that got inside the motor housing? Or is it more likely a motor gear has been stripped? Any advice??
