Well, I headed for Kansas City this morning in my 300E. My windshield wiper started hesitating at the corners, that is when it extends to the corners. It then got to where it was slower on high speed than low speed. By the time I rolled into town it would barely run and at one point I smelled a burning electrical smell which might not have even come from my car, but the wiper kept working, struggling, but working.

When I pulled into the hotel the car was running fine, but when I started it up it would not rev up. After about fifteen seconds, it finally picked up RPM and ran normally. I went to eat and it did this same thing again. Is that usually the OVP or the fuel pump relay, or is it the fuel pump going out?

In your experiences, guys, will replacing the windshield wiper motor correct that problem or is it the mechanism that is binding up, or is the eccentric mechanism part of the windshield wiper motor?

Thanks for your help. I should be able to get around while I'm in KC with someone else, and hopefully the rain will clear by Thursday afternoon when I head home.

Wish me luck and please offer your experience about these two items.

Have a great day,
