Behind the glove box there is a clip which holds the wiper arm
transmission to the wiper motor just remove the clip & remove the motor.
It sounds like the wiper motor decided to retire

Thanks for the help It took 5 min. after I knew what to do
(it's so simple when you know what your doing)
the motor is fried
I was going to order a new one from Kragens
But
there web site only shows a 244 Dl or a 245 DL ( No 240 DL)
whoul you know if either ones wiper motor would work

Once again
Thank you for your help

What usually happens is the glue fails that holds the magnets in the motor
housing and they jam up the rotor. You can take it apart and epoxy these
back on, or just replace the motor.

A 244 is a sedan, a 245 is a wagon, both of these say "240 DL" on the back.
The wiper motor is identical in any 240 or 260 series though.

I did that and it has held up for years. I actually just disassembled
the motor, taking the housing and magnets off and leaving everything
else in place. Seemed simpler than pulling out the glove box to get at
the wiper arm assembly, etc.
 
Does anyone know where I can buy the clip that keeps the pushrod in place? It’s like a square spring steel clip that acts like a locking device or like an E clip.
