I’m pretty sure I know the answer, but hoping I’m wrong. My wiper motor is operating very, very slowly. I’ve cleaned the arms and all joints but no improvement. So, my question is: can you remove the wiper motor without taking out the gas tank? Car is a 1975 914, I’ve had tank out once, just a lot of work.
Thx, PDXBob |

According to the FSM directions say to remove tank, fresh air blower box, then wiper motor/arm assembly.

Removing the fuel tank is the easiest part of that repair.

Yes, thank you for expounding on what I quickly typed at 0500. I had to lecture today so I took a Quick Look at the site before my shower. Electricity likes a circle. If your grounds are corroded, you don’t complete the circle. Should be a brown wire IIRC? |
