Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety.
  • Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Inspect the Fuses
  • Locate the fuse box, which is typically under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
  • Use a fuse puller or needle-nose pliers to remove the wiper fuse.
  • Visually inspect the fuse for continuity. If blown, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage.
3. Test the Wiper Motor
  • Disconnect the wiper motor connector.
  • Using a multimeter, check for voltage at the connector while activating the wiper switch.
    • If voltage is present, the motor may be faulty and needs replacement.
    • If no voltage is present, check the wiring and relay.
4. Replace the Wiper Motor (if necessary)
  • Remove any obstructions or covers that may be blocking access to the wiper motor.
  • Unbolt the motor from its mounting bracket and disconnect the wiring harness.
  • Install the new wiper motor by reversing the removal steps, ensuring all connections are secure.
  • Torque the mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically around 10-15 ft-lbs).
5. Reassemble and Reconnect
  • Reinstall any covers or components that were removed during the process.
  • Reconnect the battery.
  • Test the wipers to ensure they operate correctly.
