[MBZ] 300SD wipers stuck

One wiper blade (pass side) got stuck or something, the other one (driver side) is jammed against it, there is a really bad electrical burning smell in the car. I yanked the fuse, now to try to figure out what is wrong. I have some vague recollection about the gearbox on these wipers going

Hi, you are probably thinking of me as the Quebec Guy. I don't have any experience on the route you mention as I am in extreme west Quebec, on the Ontario border, hence when I go Stateside I usually cut down through one of the Ontario crossings into NY State. Our highways are generally fine, but

Re: [MBZ] 300SD wipers stuck

The pass side wiper I could push back down into stowed position with resistance like it was connected to the motor or gears or something. The driver side had no resistance when I moved it back down to stowed position. That seems to suggest a broken gear or something. Have not put fuse back

Took the wiper motor/linkage off the car (an easy job actually once it is spelled out). There are rubber ball/grommets that fit over metal balls on the ends of the linkages that drive the wiper arms. One ball has corroded which has thence worn out a rubber socket/grommet, which has then
