Title: Windshield wiper motor
Post by: Ric & Leslie on November 30, 2021, 08:44:52 pm
Hi All
Does anyone have the manufacturer, & model number for the windshield wiper motor on my 2000 U270?
Looks like I need to replace.
Thanks Ric

On my 98 U320 the numbers on my motor were 6565220 and MO25WJ.  Brad at FOT has it for $170.49 with club discount before shipping.

Hi Y'all
Once again the forum comes thru. Thank you, thank you!!
I found a picture in Gerry Caywood's post from a year ago.
At Parts Deal.com here in Portland, I'll call them this morning. I'll also check with Napa.
Thanks again Cheers Ric 8)

Well so far no joy. Parts Deal doesn't have one in stock. Napa (Ray 49812) is the wrong part. I was trying to find one locally as we're on the road. I'm going to try the Turtle wax Ice method.

When you get the motor and if you haven't disassembled your dash before juice squeezer did a write up that is in detail. Meanwhile good luck with the turtle wax and rain x, been there before.

Its a horrible job for sure. I used a sawall and opened up the upper hole to a rectangle to get my hand threw. I only needed to tighten up the loose mount screws. Used a dab RTV on the screw heads to help keep them from loosening up in the future. Was noticed during my expansion valve replacement for the front air. Rain X is your friend

I use Turtle Wax Ice exclusively on all my windows.
But I found out that I have to apply once, wait an hour or so, and then rub clear--twice.
Then good to go.
I do reapply every time I clean the windshield of bug guts.

I had a idler shaft for the drivers side wiper break coming across I 10 in Louisiana during a monsoon. Wiper assembly flying in circles knocking the crap out of my windshield while I was trying to get stopped. Anxious minute before getting out to look because I figured it did a number on my new paint but it didn't. I removed the wiper assembly from the broken shaft , got off at the next exit and start watching the weather radar for possible openings in the thunder boomers. I was out of rain x and none to be found at the few stores I could get to. Stop and go and finally got out of the rain at Baton Rouge. Wipers are a wonderful thing more so when you don't have them. I never leave home again without much rain x.
