+Disassembled to make sure wiper was connecting well. Looks good inside, lightly lubricated. Measured resistance between connection pins. With the exception of the "S" connection, which connects to a metal strip which is ridden by the wiper, the connections just connect to a continuous resistive strip. I don't need it for this application, but the rudder for example, could use the CT as the center.
