My wipers seem to failing on me. They move very slowly when On and then come to a stop. If I get out the car and move the wipers with my hand (while its in the On position) they begin to move again. I don't know if the motor is failing or the amp. Any thoughts as to which it may be? And where are these two items located on the S14? Thanks.

errrr, go junk yard. i'd lean towards motor if it didn't want to move at all, but i'd prolly start with the amp being the logical resolution @@

on the s14 the amp should be located on the fire wall passenger side underneath the hood.

the motor is located in the upper corner of the engine bay, passenger side.

Ok, so both the motor and amp are on under the hood, on the passenger side, near the firewall, correct? I guess I'll just replace them both and hope for the best. Thanks guys.

yea amp box is brown and the motor has like a brass cover on it with 5 wires goin to it. I finally fixed mine. Damn thing would need like quick reaction time to stop the wipers when it hits the bottom lol.
