===================

Battery disconnected... With a meter connected to chassis and the ground
wire of the wiper moter, try twisting the motor around to see if the
resistance on the meter goes high. On our (stinking) Volvo, the ground
was provided by a copper flat spring, which fatigued and stopped
grounding the motor. Honda would probably use surgical stainless steel,
or a wire that would handle flexion.....
