Hi Chaps,

 

My wife's 1997 Micra has an incredibly noisy wiper arm motor which is driving us mad, especially with the never ending rain!

 

Attached is a you tube link (by another sufferer) of how bad it is.

 

 

I have tried WD40 etc. but to no avail.

 

Any ideas? Is it easy to fix or do I need a replacement motor?

 

Any advice much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

its not the motor. its the wiper arm shaft going in to the gear box on the unit

take it out ... take the hole thing apart clean & grease it up put back together and u be good to go

Thanks. It will probably be obvious when I remove it but which parts should I be dismantling? I assume not the motor with it's coils etc.

the Motor/wiper unit will be bolted on to the car's body by 2 or 3 bolts ...

remember to take wiper arms off and disconnect the arm to the other side wiper ...

 

the Motor its self will be fine .. no need to take that apart

 

the unit should come open by a bolts/screws going around the case

once its open take note of how the gears are in there ...

take them all out inc the Main splined shaft and clean grease it all and put back together ..

What Mark says, when we were a Nissan dealership this happened fairly often
