74 260 wiper motor just clicks when i turn on the wipers.. i assume the motor is seized.. the motor is out and does not spin.. any way to get it to loosen up and SPINNNN???

Don't assume!

Figure out how to direct wire it for testing

the end of motor that hooks to wiper rods does not even turn..  we compared to a good one that spins freely...

The car I bought had already replaced the OEM wiper motor with one from a Honda.  

ya.. thats my next option.. i have the motor out and disassembled..  not sure if the plastic gear in there is stripped... all looks ok.. now i need to put it back together... how do i get the 3 spring loaded magnets back in there....???? can i take the gear side of the motor apart???

how do i get this motor back together?

Bearings prob failed or something Fun thing in classics is you can take everything apart. Take the time to take it apart. It's an easy fix usually

I have it apart.  Which bearing are you referring to? Motor seems to spin ok.  I have not opened gear side yet.  White gear looks a bit worn. But my issues was clicking when I tried to turn it on.  So power was there.  

I can't tell exactly, never taken one apart, but it looks heavily corroded. Check the motor and gear. 

Does your motor have a relay on the side?

Yes.  Motor has a relay on the side of it.  Any way to fix it. Relay just clicks when it’s got power. 

I had the same problem with the motor not running.  I bypassed the relay and connected a battery straight to the motor, and it ran.  Power goes through the relay before the motor, so I cleaned the contacts on the relay, and it worked fine.  You might give that a try.
