<p dir="ltr">Ok. So some idiot completely destroyed my wiper blade and broke my wiper motor trying to vandalized my 2003 Go4. They thought I was a metermaid despite the completely black spray paint job.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Do any of you have a replacement wiper motor?</p>
<p dir="ltr">In terms of the shock/spring email... I think you should avoid "cutting the spring". The springs are compressed by hydraulic vices and if you cut the spring you may literally die when that spring explodes off. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The shock is easy to replace but the springs that surround the shock are always compressed and only work in conjuction with the shock to disburse the roads impact. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Please don't cut or mess around with the spring.</p>

My 97 Interceptor's wiper has decided to stop working. I checked the fuse, which was blown and replaced it. The turn signals & headlight switch works, the hazards button works, but moving the wiper stalk doesn't result in anything. What is the best way to figure out if it's the wiper motor that's the problem or if I need a new combination switch? Having an operating windshield wiper would definitely be a good thing to have again... Ha!<br>

I'm having a similar issue but it's a little more odd. I have a pull/push switch on my dashboard that gives power to the wiper controls on the steering column control. If I pull it out to give the wipers power it shuts my engine off but the windshield wipers will work. It's very bizarre and I have no idea how to fix it. It basically shorts the whole thing out except for the wipers. It's a very creative drive in a rain storm! :)<br>

I was doing work behind the dash and the wiper worked prior. I can't see any issues with wires or connections that might have been caused by moving the gauge panel around? Funny fact, my Hour gauge was inop prior but now works, yet my wipers which worked prior are now inop. Oy!<br>

I noticed the rear shock in the engine compartment on my 93' was fully<br>
compressed so I took it out to replace. Of course it is not made anymore<br>
but in trying to figure it out the shock itself seems fine but is fully<br>
compressed when on the vehicle no matter if it were new or not! It would<br>
seem like it would not work or do anything if installed in compressed<br>
state. Does anybody know why? What would happen if I cut the bottom clamp<br>
down a bit, drilled a new hole, and installed a different shock than the<br>
original that was not compressed after install?<br>

It sounds to me like your spring is bad. The springs are what support the load, not the shocks. All the shocks do is dampen the bounce when you hit something. Without shocks you would bounce down the road like a baby carriage. Don't mess with the shock, figure out what is wrong with the spring.<br>
