Windshield Wiper System
The windshield wiper system consists of a wiper motor, a linkage, a wiper arm and a blade, and a wiper/washer switch. The windshield wiper circuit incorporates a self parking device which consists of a worm gear and a cam plate in order to keep the circuit engaged temporarily when the switch is turned off. The wiper system is driven by a permanent magnet-type motor. The windshield wiper motor is mounted on the dash panel and is directly connected to the windshield wiper linkage.
The windshield wiper motor has 2 speeds, LO and HI, and also has intermittent wiper capability. The wiper switch is an integral part of the wiper/washer switch. Windshield wiper operation is actuated through the lever on the right side of the steering column.
Check the fuse. Should tell you on the fuse cover which one is for the wipers, or in your manual, if you have one. Or, you can use a test light to check all the fuses. Just ground the test light and turn the ignition key to the on position. Touch the test light to each side of the fuse ( the silver part that shows through the fuse). If it lights up when you touch each side, its good. If only one side, the fuse is no good.
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.
I would start with the simplest thing first check the fuses, windshield wipers usually do not have issues and if they do, they are not that costly to fix/repair. You will find that the fuse panel is located under the hood on the drivers side and the other is located under the drivers side rear seat. The panel will tell you the location of each fuse as well as what the fuse controls. If it is not the fuse then you are looking at either the wiper control or the wiper motor. Before I replaced the wiper motor, I would unplug and replug it as they can lose connection and that will generally fix it. Hope that helps
COULD BE TWO THINGS...WIPER MOTOR FUSE,WHICH YOU CAN CHECK AND REPLACE,,OTHER WIPER MOTOR ITSELF,,WORKED OUT,BURNED OUT,,.EITHER CHECK IF POWER IS GOING TO IT,BY STRIPPING PANEL HIDING WIPER MOTOR AND RODS,CAN DO IT YOURSELF,IF YOU HAVE A BIT OF KNOW HOW.OR GARAGE TELL YOU IN ONE HOUR
Look in the fuse/relay panel under the dash on the drivers side for a blown fuse controlling wipers. Also look under the hood at the fuse/relay panel for a blown fuse controlling the a/c blower motor. Look under the covers of both fuse/relay panels and it will tell you were the proper fuse or relay is located in each panel. hope this will help you.
