The instrument cluster volt meter fluctuates badly when turn signal is on and the battery does not seem properly charged so have roughly narrowed it down to an electrical fault. Have checked some stuff with a multimeter. With no electrical consumer running, engine idle, Alternator output is...

Clean metal parts with brake clean and concentrated soap for the plastic parts. Hope this diagram help whoever who might want to regrease their motor too. Remember to park motor in home position before reinstalling the arm

Mmmm... caramel

Manage to regrease the gear and now it works like new! Haven't seen the wiper move this smoothly before. XD

Hey oldblue, Speedo is working. So might be a computer fault? :0 This truck has both the ECT controller and the Engine ECU.

Hey everyone, Transmission has never felt right for the longest of time I remember... It does not seem to shift into 4th gear. The O/D off lamp is off. (bulb is working) If O/D off lamp is on, it caps at 3rd gear. Is there a way to read transmission fault code like how we can read engine...

Ooh, ok. In this case I can be a little more flexible with my lubricant choice then. :D Hrmmm, will it be possible that the stator magnet got weakened overtime due to engine heat? Have yet to do the regrease. :)

Have temperorily substituted with silicone grease as it does not attack plastic.

Anyone has idea about the exact plastic type the wiper motor gear is? (POM/ PA(nylon) / ABS/ PC?)

Hey Ralf, thanks for the reply. Duly noted. Went around my entire town this afternoon to search for synthetic grease or anything that matches the criteria for this. None of the industrial supplier nor spare parts shop carries them. They only have standard MP or Moly EP grease. However...

Hullo everyone! University just started this week so will only have the weekends to handle car related repair. Wiper has been really sluggish. It moves really slowly even on high. We are approaching monsoon season and heavy rain is frequent so will need to fix it before allowing the car back...

Anyone?

Ohhh no Are the wiper linkages bushings..... replacable...? The bushings are waaaay to crispy...

End of November turbo productivity mode WIPER VERY SLUGGISH, even on high 12 volt at motor connection verified so removed the wiper motor (and broke the linkage bushing in the process). Linkage feels smooth, does not bind. Grease inside gearbox is completely hardened making the movement pretty...

5/7/2021 update: Manage to put everything back together! XD @Dprio34 hmmm, ok Have substituted the timing belt cover bolts with standard m6 shoulder bolt instead for now as all my automotive parts sources say "we don't sell fasteners". Will see if could order from somewhere else in the future...
