87 ranger wipers too slow ?

[raggedyann]

Your wiper motor may be on its way out. Run the wipers for a bit and feel the motor, if its pretty hot then its probably about to go. Be careful when you touch it because there is a chance it could be real hot, usually they start blowing the fuse before this stage but one never knows.

Don't run the wipers on a dry windshield...mine are always slow if I accidentally switch them on when there is no moisture so I quickly spray them if that happens.

Funny how something like wipers can really limit your driving when they don't work...carry a squeegie just in case they blow and you need to get somewhere...maybe have a friend sit on the hood while you drive...

is it colder where you live? i know mine run super slow in winter unless the truck has been running a while

or, your motor is going out.
