Mine caught on fire the other day - quite an interesting experience. I disconnected the wiring to it, but I haven't changed it yet - (its 105 degrees in CA - probablt won't need my wipers soon!) I know that it is located beneath the air intake vent on the drivers side. You have to take off your wiper arm and then unscrew the nut that holds the air intake cover on to get to it. With your hood open, you can access the wiper motor through the firewall - there are plastic screws that hold it on. Then pull gently on your weather stripping that seals the engine compartment, and you should be able to pull the fire wall back to get to the motor. You'll have to unbolt the motor from where it's mounted, and you'll have to figure out how to disconnect the arms - I haven't gotten that far yet. There is a plug on the top of the motor to disconnect your wiring - your new motor should just plug back in. Let me know how it goes! I'll be pulling mine out shortly!
Do you know where I could find a fuse box diagram for these cars? I'm having lots of trouble finding one - even the dealer couldn't help!
Thanks! Sarah

How do you remove the wiper arm on a 1985 jeep cj7?
The wiper blades and wiper attachment are very specialized on the 1985 Jeep CJ7. Very few wiper blades will fit. See sources and related links below for one of the few options. Assuming that you mean "wiper blade" (blade and frame) which are replaced often rather than "wiper arm" (piece from the spindle at the hood to the wiper blade) which are rarely ever replaced, the 1985 Jeep CJ7 takes 11" wiper blades on both sides front. See sources and related links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments, do not buy wipers just by length only - be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.

Why do the windshield-wipers in a 1985 Ford Crown Victoria don't turn off when you try to turn them off?
Wiper motors have an internal switch that keeps the wiper running until it gets to the "park" position. Sometimes the internal switch fails and the wipers keep running, never sensing the park position. When that happens, you'll need to replace the wiper motor.
Why don't the windshield wipers in a 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis turn off?
Windshield wiper motors have an internal switch that allows a wiper motor to stay running long enough to keep the wipers moving until they reach the "park" position. Once the wiper gets to the park position, the wiper motor is shut off. The internal switch often fails and either the motor will shut off immediately, wherever it is or it will keep running. It sure seems that you need a new wiper motor.
