As I have a 99 sc1 myself I can tell you its neither the fuse or wiper motor. There is a switch located on the steering colum behind the air bag that has gone bad and needs to be replaced.

It's the wiper motor itself.The logic for the park mode has gone bad.It will need the wiper motor reaplaced to correct that concern.

Where is the relay for the windsheild wipers on a 2004 f-550

The windshield wiper relay on a 2004 Ford F-550 is typically located in the fuse box under the hood. The fuse box is usually located near the front of the vehicle, on the driver's side. To find the windshield wiper relay, you will need to refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or a wiring diagram for the vehicle. The owner's manual should have a diagram of the fuse box that will show you the location of the windshield wiper relay. Alternatively, you can search online for a wiring diagram for your vehicle.

Once you have located the fuse box, you may need to remove a cover to access the fuses and relays. Look for a fuse or relay labeled "wiper" or "wiper relay" to find the windshield wiper relay. If you are having trouble finding the windshield wiper relay, you may want to consider consulting a mechanic or taking your vehicle to a dealership for assistance.

I have a 1999 sl2 saturn and i need to know why the motor on the windshield wipers dont stop and go the other way so on and so forth

The motor continuously turns, it doesn't stop and back up. If your wipers got iced or stuck, they may have loosened the pivot nuts. Lift both wiper arms up off of the windsheild and then see if the wipers move correctly. If they do, shut off the wipers to let them "park." Loosen the nuts under the plastic cap at the base of the wiper arm, and set each arm to the park position, and then tighten the nut. These are made to slip so the motor doesn't get destroyed.

Windshield wipers do not work, tried checking fuse box under hood but all fuses are working. Need to know where fuse is located for windshield wiper, or where windsheild wiper motor is.

There is also a fuse module located on the passenger side of the center console under the dash. You can pull the plastic cover panel off by hand. This should be where the wiper motor fuse is located.

2000 Saturn LS, windshield wipers park in the middle of the windshield. How can I fix this?

The wipers are parking in the middle because the timing mechanism is off. Once they start doing this it seems to continue to happen so the 1st suggestion is to replace the wiper motor. If U don't want to spend the $ right now it's a pretty easy fix to reset the timing. Park the wipers & remove the wiper arms. Then remove the plastic cowling that covers the wiper motor & the motor assembly. Turn the wiper assembly over without turning the motor. Remove the nut on the arm of the motor. Repostion the arm pointing away from the closet wiper directly inline with the short arm. reassemble.

Cold weather wiper problem

Dear joelgoodison,

Could be the Fuse!
Could be the Wiper Motor Burn't Out if Blades were frozen to windshield when turned on
Until you fix the problem you can buy RainX Wipe-On Glass Solution or Windsheild Washer Fluid which as unbelievable as it sounds will allow you to drive in the all but the worst downpours of rain without wipers!
I love the RainX Windsheild Washer Fluid and rarely use my wipers.
Check the fuses and try RainX and get back to me!
Hope this Helps!
