First off, love the new wedding band but get rid of that thing before you ground it to something while working on a power circuit and mix some angry pixies with your left ring finger. Second, the meat nuggets are looking more arthritic than before, take some time off from SMA and go visit the rheumatologist. I LOVE SMA videos and the explanations we get of circuit operations and factory wiring diagrams but PLEASE take care of yourself so we can continue to get many years of SMA videos with the witty banter and exceptional explanations.

Dissing on Ivan for tearing stuff apart for the Russian Repair - thanks to you and Ivan both, I've torn a few items apart to repair them on my Motorhome and felt a million times more comfortable in the process. The common sense testing that both of you show is an encouragement to backyard mechanics such as myself and I'm sure quite a few others. I know how to repair a lot of the stuff, but seeing one or both of you go into detail about the whys and wherefores is super encouraging.

While I know you are sort of belaboring the point by going through all the steps, it's such an important thing to teach: Don't assume anything. Yes, a guess on the wiper motor would have been the right guess on this one, but it still would have been a guess. Understanding how it works and ticking off various circuits as good and working assures you that you do the repair once, not twice or three times, and that you don't use parts that aren't needed. Great job!

I know I should diagnose before firing a part cannon, but I just went though something similar. My personal truck, wipers quit, so I just bought a wiper motor, super cheap, brand new for 20. Swapped the motor, still didn't work. Starting running down the wires, had a bad ground. Brand new wiper motor for 20 worked for every bit of 10 seconds and quit. Had to put my old one back in, and now it works reliably.

Gotta love the break down of how the switch communicates when its grounded. Testing with a high draw 4amp test light. Wrap everything up with the classic tappy tap tap with anything currently in your hand, to verify it needs a wiper motor. I really appreciate the real world approach.
I'm going to have to rewatch this, great point about the blade going down first, before it cycles. Appreciate the video.

I sold my Hoodoo Pilot at 338k and it still ran beautifully. All belts and hoses, and all fluids every 100k. Every 100k timing belt and water pump. Religious oil changes. Only bad thing is it blew the dash light buttons all the time and that was a pain in the ass. Ate headlights too soon, but could change those in 2 minutes taking my time. Miss my old hondoo

you waste a lot of time at I'm sure a high hourly rate. even joe dummy would go start to the motor and check for power then replace the motor 99 % of the time. you love getting all technical checking everything from the switch out instead of motor back. crazy
