Anyone know how to rebuild a wiper motor?
Okay so here's the thing, so far i've spend most than 200 dollars trying to solve my wiper problem. Now it has come to the motor. I need to get my wiper motor rebuilt or buy a new one for 400 bucks cdn. I'm not willing to spend that much on a wiper. So i'm wondering now, how hard, if it is possible, is it to rebuild a wiper motor?
PLEASE HELP ME. PLEASE!

Grrr.. what happened to the edit ?? Anyway, it's the motor instead of switch? You might consider buying another from Icemark. If it's the switch, refer to below

i already bought a used one and it's f*cked up too.
I just rebuilt mine, polished all the connectors, bent it a little bit. Placed it back in the car, went fora 5 minute cruise. No problem. But when i turn off my car for 5 minutes to put the rest of the screws back in and i go for a cruise again. Within 15 seconds my fuse blows on me.
Is it really the motor that is at fault?
Should i put it in my cousin's rex to see if it blows his fuse?
or should i get a brand new one for like 380?

I doubt its the motor, mine used to blow fuses, replaced the switch and it still blew fuses. I had a short in the wiring, rewired and solved problem. You might want to stick a multimeter in place of the wiper fuse and see what kind of voltage and amperage its trying to send thru there.
