Hi, I've dismantled and re-built both motors which were seized, they work now but the rhs wipes twice then stops, the lhs wipes 5 times before it stops, I've tried a different control unit but it makes no difference, any suggestions please ? I've looked at the wiki but am none the wiser.

Sounds like they could still be tight or you may have put something back wrong

IIRC, I think it's possible to assemble incorrectly and get this result.

Thanks. hopefully through a process of trial and error I'll get them working properly.

from what i found in the past its either the very little white plastic pin near the shaft or possibly have you dislodged the round disc between the electrical contacts next to the motor
