Hi there, My Focus 2003 has a front wiper motor problem. The wipers work very slowly and with great pain (and noise). Eventually, they stop completely... but will work again after a 5 minute rest. What's the problem?ThanksJF Dorval
Optional Information: Year : 2003 Make : Ford Model: Focus wagon Engine: zetec Already Tried: Tried to locate the wiper motor. Removed the right plastic cover, exposing the wiper motor... stopped there cuz I need help. Can I repair this myself ? Thanks
it sounds like a weak and failing wiper motor...its time to replace the wiper motor

Thanks, In order to remove the 2 black cowl panels, I have to remove the wiper arms on the left side. How do you remove these? Do I just pull on them? I can't see any screws...Thanks again.
some wiper arms have a metal tab that gets pryed out to release the wiper arms, others habe a cap on the end that flips up top access a nut that gets unthreaded
