The wiper motor doesn't work. So apart it comes.
Taken all apart
Base magnets are rusty as can be
Rotor is OK but the brass contact plates at the top are corroded. Common known problem so 600 grit sandpaper is the solution.
Cleaned out the old grease and the rust from the body
all the washers, C clips, and screws from the assembly
The brush plate. The #1 problem with these old Lucas motors. I'm going to get a new brush plate cause the springs have nearly rusted in half.
Here are where the studs for the plug pop in
Putting things back
Washers and clips almost all go here on the outside
All put back together. Even with the relay isn't working properly. Brush plate still needs replacement so it may be the issue.
EDIT: Relay wasn't working, so I got a new one, this didn't fix the problem. I could hear the relay energizing (clicking) but the motor wouldn't come on. So I replaced the brush-plate, that's in a later post.
