I have a 1999 hyundai accent and the wipers havnt worked in a while, its been sitting in the garage for a bit but i dont know what is wrong, i believe it is the wiper motor but im not sure. when i turn the wipers on, they twitch but dont end up actually moving, they will move if i use my hands and move them manually but other than that they dont budge. do you think this is the wiper motor? or something more?

wiper motor goes on its mount..wiper arms and the wiper hookup can be adjusted a bit.. so they dont go off the window or hit each other while in use..adjust accordingly..

Go to autozone.com and register.. Then enter you car info and you will have a worth of info about you car.. Such as all the parts,, how to,, diagrams etc..

Have a great day !!

try a higher fuse

Your Accent has rear wiper/washer.. correct? That's where the 3rd wire comes in. They sold you/you bought the wrong pump. Here's the wiring diagrams:

I just had my car worked on in one shop, a HYUNDAI ATOS 2000 they fixed a bad windshield wiper mechanism, but after the repair, my airbag light remained illuminated,
the garage mechanic tried with 2 diagnostic computers to
'reboot' my cars own computer, but neither of his devices could communicate with my car,
I had to go to another garage with a proper computer
the repair took only 5 seconds!!
sobs!, they charged me $50 for the 'work'......the first garage evidenlty, touched something, and I had to pay the bill......live & learn,.
before this I tried all the 'tricks' like disconnecting the battery,
first neg, then pos, nothing else worked, damned computers!!

there is a 15 amp fuse for the rear wiper under the bonnet check this, also i think the accent has a seperste switch in the dashboard for the rear wiper like th hyundai coupe.

the black switches are master switches. They control stuff like the horn, the lights, wipers, AC, Engine Fans, and....there's one more that it controls, but i dont remember what it is. But you're going the wrong way about this. You're on the wrong side of the engine. You want to be on the opposite side of the engine, along the firewall, close to the front shocks by the windshield wiper motor. That's more than likely your problem. A little bit of water, grease, or some dirt might have slipped past the seal and caused a malfunction in the control wheel. Just open it up, clean it out, add some grease to the appropriate area, blow dry the circut board, stitch it back up, and that should solve the problem.
Please keep in mind that my American Car is a sligh bit different than your Australian Car. If the directions don't match up, i'm sorry for the inconvenience.

~Hope this helps

If you take off the wiper blades, then remove the plastic covering under the windscreen, the motor is underneath it. All it will be is two maybe three bolts and an electrical connector.

Probable cause: Wiper fuse (No.: 7, 8) blown. If not check for wiper switch faulty, loosen wiring, or ground faulty.
