Thanks for posting this video. My 89 S10 was the exact same set up. I too was trying to figure out how to get that 13mm nut off without moving the arms. Vise grips worked like a charm and I got that nut off.
I found this video today and was planning on replacing the motor. Great video tips on how to get the cowling off. Another good tip about replacing the washer nozzle..... I will order the hose and nozzle when I pick up the motor from autozone. Thank you so much for these videos Dan! Your video will help me keep this old truck on the road for another 30 years. This was last of the small mechanical issues to fix .... then I take it in to get a new paint job to restore it to its original condition.
Thanks for posting this; I have an ‘85 S-10 and the wiper motor just up and died (how rude of it). Worked one day; didn’t the next. Troubleshot to the motor, and I couldn’t believe that O‘Reilly had one in stock! This video was very useful. Appreciate it.
Thank you very much it helped me a lot, I was removing the leaves from the trees that were underneath and I did not know how to remove it, a thousand thanks, greetings from Mexico.
Appreciate the tips and everything. I'm about to do the same thing to mine. I found a nice 91 Tahoe edition s10. V6 5spd. 2 owner truck. Very little rust. An I was wondering if you had ever messed with the throttle body injection system? Mine seems to be sluggish every so often. Other than that an exhaust gasket I don't have to do much. I'll be replacing the passenger side window track in the door. Bought a complete door used, for parts. Truck has 212k miles on it.
Im obviously late to the party here but i got a 89s10 tahoe, 4.3v6. Wipers just up and quit, on the windshield, still that way. No fuses blown, mother board looks good, to Mr. So solder issues (that was a option from things i was reading). But im guess the motor ? Just wondering what your experience was with yours.
Sprry im late sir bit no it don't make a noise. I wanted to ask yiu what u did to get the linkage bolt loose ? I see u held it with something but i can figure out how to keep mine still to get loose ?
@@jonathanhankins790 Mine was actually locked up so it was easy to get loose. But I would imagine you could put a small piece of wood under it. I think you may have a circuit board issue.
@@loggingtheozarks i thougjt i seen in your videos that your linkage was moving when tring to get that bokt lose,so that's why i was asking. The circuit board is just as much as the whole motor for me so and its still the original one from 89 so i figured why not.
Thanks Glad I could be of Help. I couldn't figure that out either at first. And then after the Job I was Paranoid that They would Just fly off the next time I was in the Rain. But they didn't and have had no Problems with them since then. Thanks for Watching.
Dan Jarrett got it done had to overcome some obstacles but it’s fixed. The brackets that hold the things the arms are attached to are both broken so they wobble do you happen to know if one can get just those brackets or do you have to buy the whole wiper assembly? Thanks again
Just watched your video and getting ready to do the replacement. Great video btw, hope mine is as easy as yours... 88 s10 4wd supercab. I'll log my response in reply. Thanks for the video.
It did not go well at all. Put a 2nd board in and it immediately fried a resister. Turns out, I'm pretty sure the problem is in the switch as the low and high wipers are on at the same time sending too much voltage to the board. That switch is in the steering column, been there done that before tightening the universal joint so tomorrow more fun tearing down the column but not as far this time... hopefully. Thanks for the good tidings tho.
@@jimhamilton6209 Sorry to Hear about all that. I too Have Had my share of Steering column Problems. It's a Tilt Column and Mine is Loose but seems impossible to get to the Bolts to tighten up. Also My Horn Shorted out and would drain the battery down over night. so I had to Pull the Fuse for that. I Hope I don't ever have any Problems with the remaining Electronics in the Column. I don't know If I even want to work on any of that. Best of Luck.
hello friend regarding the change of the motor I also made the change of mine but I have a problem when putting the blades, they no longer stay when I put them in the normal position, they go down to the hood or come out of the windshield, I don't know how to make them stay in their position do you think you can help me?
Next time you can replace motor without removing all that other stuff. Take 3 bolts out of motoer and it will fall out far enough for you to remove the stuborn nut. Also there is a fix to circuit board, iLL SHARE WITH YOU IF YOU NEED IT. OPPS HIT CAPS LOCK.

Just curious if yours is like mine today. Does the relay on the circuit board make noise when you try the wipers?
@@loggingtheozarks you mean when it quit ?
If so, i didnt pay attention to it. I dont think but ill look later.
Sprry im late sir bit no it don't make a noise. I wanted to ask yiu what u did to get the linkage bolt loose ? I see u held it with something but i can figure out how to keep mine still to get loose ?

Thank you. Couldn't figure out the wiper arms for the life of me
Thanks Glad I could be of Help. I couldn't figure that out either at first. And then after the Job I was Paranoid that They would Just fly off the next time I was in the Rain. But they didn't and have had no Problems with them since then. Thanks for Watching.
I like to change the arms with claws for later wipers.
Thank you I have to do this tomorrow and I am no mechanic still kinda nervous but this should help a lot. Yahweh bless
It is a Pretty simple Job. Just Step by step. Good Luck. Thanks for Watching.

@@rclamb04 I don't know. I'am sure You can find them at the Autozone or where ever.
Thank you very much! Helped me a lot!

Glad it was Helpful. thanks for watching.
Great video! Down to earth! Gotta do my 89 s10 blazer
Yes it is a Pretty Easy Job. Thanks for Watching.
Same here...'89 S-10 Blazer!
How long did this job take you? Heading out at around 5 am to fix mine to go to a party tonight, lol.
Thank you very much. Solved my problem!
Glad it Helped. Thanks For Watching
Thanks for makeing , very useful
Wow! Corvette rims on your S-10.
Yes. I'am told they are 1982 Corvette Wheels. I think that was the last Year they Made Carborated engines for those. Thanks for Watching.
hello friend regarding the change of the motor I also made the change of mine
but I have a problem when putting the blades, they no longer stay when I put them in the normal position, they go down to the hood or come out of the windshield, I don't know how to make them stay in their position
do you think you can help me?
I think your arm nut may be loose.
Be sure to mark the area where they were in factory settings. That way you can easily adjust if needed. 1 tooth on spline goes a long way
Very good tutorial.
Thanks for Watching
Yah Hooo all fixed! =)
The part # for this motor is (40-190)
Next time you can replace motor without removing all that other stuff. Take 3 bolts out of motoer and it will fall out far enough for you to remove the stuborn nut. Also there is a fix to circuit board, iLL SHARE WITH YOU IF YOU NEED IT. OPPS HIT CAPS LOCK.
I'm interested
