Rear side markers, Wiper motor progress
Progress! Thanks to a tip from this site, I fixed the bad connections under the carpet that was preventing my rear side marker lamps from working. Thanks for the tip!
I also managed to unstick my wiper motor. I had no wipers, but some cleanup and a 13mm to give the motor a turn got it working again. It stuck a couple more times, but then I put it on intermittent for 30 mins and it never stuck once thereafter. Hopefully it won't get stuck again with occasional use, I think this was caused by the car being stored for some time. Making a blood sacrifice probably helped, I forgot the wipers were on delay while I was fitting the washer reservoir and it took quite a gouge out of my finger.
Anyway it's pretty cool, I tried out the headlight washers, the high-strength windshield washer, the regular windshield washers, all working. The only thing I have left to fix is the ABS (possibly the relay.) Then I need some new tires, a better alignment (slight inside front tire wear) and a stereo upgrade.
It's nice to make progress, much thanks to this site!
