As if this isn't an expensive time in my life with moving and the twins about to be here in April, I have managed to leave my windshield wipers on this morning, and when I turned on the ride I nullified the wiper motors. They work intermittently but from the looks of it, they are shot. I would be interested in buying these if anyone has any laying around that they are trying to get rid of. Please let me know if you're interested, feel free to call / text: 614-592-8383! Thanks! Nick
Are you looking for a front and rear motor? Cause there's only one in the front.... What makes you think it's bad? Are you saying that the blades were frozen down to the windows? Could the wiper arms be loose on the shafts?
The fronts don't usually go out? Sorry to hear about this mis fortune. Try Mazda/Mini Recycle in Rancho Cordova Ca. They are connected to all the other MINI dismantles and if they do not have a working guaranteed unit they can locate one for you. The prices are also very reasonable .

Dave, Yeah I checked all the circuits and fuses. The blades were not stopped completely when I shut off the motor or at least thats what I think happened. When I started the car the next day, they blades were frozen to the glass and when I started the car they jolted and then they stopped working all together. Now I do know they are both still working manually, because when I tried to move them, *thinking that they might just need popped back in the gears if that was the case.* they moved together. They are completely unresponsive now. I am going to check the arms and see if they are loose and I am also going to double check they fuse and circuits tomorrow. It sucks checking electronics in the cold. Also thank you very much for the link and contact information Nitros!
That good to know WAY you should post up a thread. I bet you could part them out fast if more people knew?
