Cranfield Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I would try it with a new battery (borrow one), I have heard of batteries wearing out, but not rotaries (I suppose it does depend what make). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin todd ni Posted November 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 The batteres are ok cranfeild. When i bought the rotary a section where the arms attach to the motor came off but it still works ok . i asked the chap from uk shootwarehouse about this and he said if it works ok it will be fine but now it has started to go slow.

lurcherboy Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Have you ever unplugged the wires from the motor and refitted them incorrectly? All wiper motors have two speeds and I can change speed by altering the connections. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Beasley Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Well instead of "whining" on here about it send it back to us and we will mend it for you!! It sounds like the motor is on its way out for whatever reason. Congratulations though.... you are only the third person to ever knacker one!
