DIAGNOSIS Inop wipers The Boudin cable is stuck on my original GMC
wiper motor. Impossible to actuate wiper from dash. It is stuck.
The cable appears to have seized somewhere inside as it traverses from the
dash to the hydraulic motor.
It isnt a very long run, maybe 18" I guess.
Motor works when cable is disconnected.
I have sprayed Kroil into one end but even if that works, it will rust again
Is there a good cure, short of replacing the cable?
The cable appears to be a smallish 1/8" OD by estimate.
Is there anyone who sells replacements? Perhaps with a nylon inner .
PS SWITCHING GEAR Anyone who was curious, regarding my Onan starting by
itself; I disconnected the multipin connector [maybe 20 pin] behind circuit
board box; found some contacts to be corroded;
Wire brushed what I could with small hand brass brush, and applied lotsa
conductive grease on pins. Plugged it back together.
Also applied electrician's goo [waterproof grease] to outside of connector
as wires enter socket. Wires are burried in grease from outside now.
Put it all back together and the beast starts, runs and shuts off as it is
supposed to both from inside coach and remotely.
And doesnt start by itself either.
