slow-no wipers
Our wipers barley go, additionally if anything other low is used, they dont move.
Want to try and fix it.
I have read allot on the forum about fixing the linkage, motor switch etc...
Since the multi-function switch and motor are NLA, I want to see about getting them rebuilt.
I would rather pay someone with knowledge than take the risk of me damaging the part beyond repair.
Does anyone know someone in the US who can rebuild parts like these?

I haven't had to deal with this problem on my FD yet, but there's a guy/shop that rebuilds/restores the FC wiper switches. Check out https://www.13betc.com/product/86-91...build-service/
If 13Betc can't rebuild the FD switch, they might be able to point you to someone else that can. Another option may be to find a used working FD switch assembly to swap in. For used parts, send a PM to forum user tomsn16 (Jim), to see if he has one, he sells lots of FD parts and is a great guy to do business with here.

I found these guys online and called them.
https://www.classicwipers.com/
I called them and they have some expertise in fixing our vintage of Japanese wiper motors.
Cost is about $225 to repair and $275 to restore to like new condition.
Going take out the motor and linkage and decide what to do next.
I will call these guys as well

Thanks allot!

@all4fuun you inspired me to service my linkage last night so I did a quick write-up.

Super helpful, thanks allot!
A question, does that retaining ring want to jump off the shaft when removed?
It would be super hard to find on the floor 10ft away.
Also, did all the plastic push pins on the cowel that need to be removed break when you took them off?

If you try to pry out covers from top-side you will scratch and ruin your cowel.
Like many Mazda parts, the covers are made to go on but not off.

BTW, if you booger up a cover and can find a 2nd. Gen. Ford Probe at the local U pull it salvage yard, they were made by MAZDA and use identical screw covers in both sizes.

Not to put down classicwipers.com, but I did have them rebuild my motor and I saw little difference. Their services may work if your motor has a lot of miles on it. I only had about 75k miles on my car when I had it rebuilt. I think there is ultimately a lack of voltage getting to the motor. I remember reading a thread a while ago saying that the issue is not the motor, but the switch supplying the power. I need to do some testing a play around with a multimeter.

Cleaned and greased the linkage, got the motor back and installed.
Now I have low speed and high speed
but no intermittent and no return once the wipers are turned off.
So I think the relay in the multi-function switch is bad.
I email the guy at https://www.13betc.com/product/86-91...build-service/ 10 times and never got a reply.
So until I figure out something else, I think I can jumper some of the wiring and get the return to work.
Wanted to see if anyone else has tried this before I do it.
