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 battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
2. Inspect and Replace the Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box; refer to the owner's manual for the exact location.
  • Remove the fuse for the wipers using a fuse puller.
  • Inspect the fuse; if blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage (typically 15A).
  • Reinstall the fuse and reconnect the battery.
3. Test the Wiper Motor
  • Reconnect the battery.
  • Turn on the ignition and activate the wipers.
  • If the motor does not operate, disconnect the motor wiring harness.
  • Test the motor for continuity with a multimeter; if no continuity is found, replace the wiper motor.
4. Check the Wiper Control Stalk
  • Remove the steering column cover to access the wiper control stalk.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the stalk.
  • Use a multimeter to check for continuity when the stalk is activated; if faulty, replace the control stalk.
5. Inspect Wiper Linkage
  • Remove the wiper arms using a puller if necessary.
  • Inspect the linkage for any signs of wear, damage, or disconnection.
  • If damaged, replace the wiper linkage assembly.
