Lifted wiper blade,on 99' e430,now won't go down

Sound like you have a bad wiper arm and spring is weak need to make sure it has good pressure on the wiper blade to push it down on the windshield the pressure is why the blade is not wiping the windshied right

Windshield wiper motors are generally easy to replace. You need to remove the windshield wipers and take off the small grill panel above the hood and under the windshield. You should see the motor in there. It simply unbolts and unplug the electrical connector and replace it with a new one.

linkage that connects the motor to the arms, stripped or loose.

could be the window switch or the fuse is blown or the wires r shorted to the window motor. did u check for power and ground at the motor before u replaced it?

The Wiper Control Rod under the cover has a Push on Pivoting Arm and the Ball Broke and will not work the wipers until it is replaced

Turn your wipers off, using the stalk on the left side of your steering column. Turn your ignition off and remove the key.

Pull the wiper blade up to lift it to the service position. Pull the front part of the blade down to position it at an angle.

3

Pull back the lock pin on the center part of the wiper blade (where it connects to the wiper arm). This unlocks the blade from the wiper arm.

4

Grasp the blade on each side and pull it down (away from the extended wiper arm) to release it from the "U" clip.

5

Repeat the process for the other wiper blade, if desired. Removing the driver's side and passenger's side wiper blade is the same.

6

Install the new wiper blade. Open the lock pin on the new blade, and then insert it into the wiper arm "U" clip. Close the lock pin and lower the wiper blade to its normal position.

is there snow or ice on window? if so, scrape the window clear of snow with a broom or ice scaper,and of course if it's ice use the scraper. your wiper blades may have simply frozen to your wind sheild, try lifting up on each one to free it them up. you may have to lift your hood up to get to them if they're recessed down below the hood. after you've lifted them up and down twice,turn them on. they should work then and never pour warm water on your windows to clear ice or snow,they can explode.if this does'nt work then check you fuse panel inside the car for a blown wiper fuse. thank you for choosing fixya.com and also if this helps please accept my solution. thank you!

Hello, there are different types of mounts for the wipers. Most of my Ford and Mercury products have a U looped end on the wiper arm. There is a button on the wiper and you push the plastic button and slide the wiperblade off the U bracket.

What is sometimes tricky is the wiper arm goes through and underneath the new blade. When you slide the new blade into the looped end it will lock.

Autozone will install for free and Walmart is kind of neat. Walmart will install free and you pay the same price for the blade as off the shelf.

There are other kinds of mounts. I have seen POST mounts which are simply a post on the end of the arm. But there are different size posts. The plastic clip is removed to these and the blade simply lifts off. Then reattach the clip.

Worthy of mention. Put wipers on and turn off ignition when the wiper is conveniently stopped at a place where you can easily reach them. Some wiper arms can be lifted and they will stay lifted off the glass for service.

On mine I lifted up the arm,at the base where its connected to the car there is a little metal tap that sticks out. Pick up on the tab,at the same time release the arm. It should stay up. Then kind of wiggle the base near the tab while pulling up on the arm.It should come right off.Its on a spline like stub.Try to put it back on the same spline teeth it came off of.This keeps the arm in the proper place. Once off its easier to see how the blades come off. Try calling a large auto parts store to see if they have your proper blades. Most large auto parts stores will install the blades for you for free if you buy blades from them.Dont buy the cheapest ones, they dont last.
I hope this helps you.
