Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is turned off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety.
2. Inspect and Replace the Wiper Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box, typically under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
  • Remove the wiper fuse using a fuse puller or pliers.
  • Check the fuse for continuity. If blown, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage (typically 20A for wipers).
3. Test and Replace the Wiper Motor
  • Remove the wiper arms by loosening the retaining nuts with a socket set.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the wiper motor.
  • Test the motor by applying direct battery voltage to the terminals. If the motor does not run, replace it.
  • Install the new wiper motor, ensuring it is correctly positioned before reattaching the wiper arms.
4. Inspect and Repair the Wiper Linkage
  • Remove the wiper arms and access the wiper motor.
  • Inspect the linkage for any signs of wear, damage, or disconnection.
  • If damaged, replace the wiper linkage assembly as necessary.
  • Reattach all components securely and ensure smooth operation of the linkage.
5. Check and Adjust Wiper Blade Position
  • Ensure wiper blades are installed correctly and are not obstructed.
  • If necessary, adjust the wiper arms to ensure they make full contact with the windshield.
  • Replace wiper blades if they show signs of wear or damage.
