I am having problems with the windshield wipers on the MH.
I am having problems with the windshield wipers on the MH.
The motor has been replaced with one sent from Fleetwood.
The transmission is free, arms do not bind.
Wipers work on intermittent, and on low, however in high the wipers move no faster that low and on the return stroke they get s
"stuck" in the center of the windshield. Turn the switch to low and they work fine again.
Both the old motor and the new motor have the same problem, like it does not have enough power to run the wipers on high.

Sounds like the switch switch to me. Replaced a blower switch in a car that exhibited similar behavior. Low speed and medium would work, high setting would only run on low speed intermittently.

I'm not familiar with your chassis but I have seen some with relays and/or breakers for both wiper high and wiper low. If you have a guide to your chassis breakers, fuses, and relays study in over. All in all I'm leaning towards a bad switch as well, just batting my brain as to if there's anything else it could be.

I have been using them for a little while now. They are defiantly better with the switch replacement, however in high the wipers still hesitate on the return stroke in the middle of the swipe. Livable but would like to get it correct.
Suggestions?
