Wiper Motor Grounding

Actually, we do not have an easy fix. Last year, one of our students opened up our motors, found out where the internal circuitry was connected to the case, and and snipped the grounding lead. Justin and I did not see how he did it. Keep in mind: if you are only using one of the wiper motors, this is not necessary. Also, if you are able to isolate one of your motors from the chassis (easier said than done), you do not need to take this precaution. Since there seems to be sufficient interest in this fix, I will contact the student and/or a DaimlerChrysler rep. to learn the technique: we'll try to arrange a mini-workshop this week for anybody else who wants to do this; keep listening here for an announcement.
