How to speed up slow windshield wipers on an NA Miata DIY
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The windshield wipers were dangerously slow on my 1995 Mazda Miata, so I wanted to see if I could figure out why. I added chapters to the video so you can skip around if you want, but if you want to take the holistic approach just watch the whole video and follow along. After doing everything I almost doubled the speed of my wipers!
0:00 Initial speed test
0:18 Cleaning up electrical connections/contacts
8:43 Second speed test
9:00 Re-greasing the wiper arm linkages
16:55 Cleaning and re-greasing the wiper motor
24:14 Final speed test
Although I did this video using a Miata, the general principles shown can be applied to many other cars.

Thanks! Let me know how it goes.
My wipers are slow, not nearly as slow as yours were, But I do have a question for any help with mine. My wipers move okay on the first setting, they stop completely on the second setting, and they move decently quick on the last setting. Does anyone know why the middle setting just quit? could it be the connections? Or do you think the wiring is caput for that setting only? It's hard to be to try to find a new motor, but If I have to buy a new one, I will pay the big price, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. So far, from anywhere I've asked, no one has had an idea yet.

If I had to guess I suspect the wiper stalk is bad and not the motor. The motor still works at the other settings, so it's not broken.
Electric male connectors: I like a small, rat tail file to clean.
