sounds like the wiper motor has worn out as was a steady decline , a wiper motor works by "tracks" that conduct the power , over time these wear thin until they no longer transmit the power , change the motor
If wipers do not work at all, and are stuck in one spot, check the fuse to see if it is bad. If wipers work, but stop facing up when you turn them off then the "park" portion of wiper motor has failed. If this is the case (wipers work and park up) then only fix is replace wiper motor. If fuse blown - replace it - and if it blows fairly soon after changing then something is binding wipers, or wiper motor is taking too much power and again, the motor needs changing.
car stays, on, does that mean engine will not shut down.
or mean the wipers stay on, after turning them off
1:yes, wiper, bad internal wiper switch, (bad wiper motor)
2: no:?
wiring hacks (after market installs of something gone worn)
bad igniton switch.
The 2003 Lexus ES300 has the most common hook-end wiper arms. If you purchase the replacement blades first, there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement
packages. Locate and press the tab or button where the wiper blade is
inserted into the hook of the wiper arm and pull wiper blade out of hook.
You may have to rotate and flex the blade to make enough clearance for the hook
to pass through.
Try to run the wiper motor with the wiper arms removed and thnnotice if it is still squeeking. If it is thn you will have to lubricate the wiper shafts especially where the wiper arm fits.
Hope this helps!
How to Replace Wiper Blades Guide: Potential tools needed to replace wiper blades:
Flat blade screwdriver (small)
Small nosed pliers
Latex or vinyl gloves
Safety goggles
To replace wiper blades the actual action of replacing the blade is no big deal, it's the location of the blade down below the hood that can make it difficult though. Sometimes it helps to open the hood to gain access to the wiper blades. Other times it is helpful if the wiper blade is somewhere in the motion line of wiper action. The trick is to get the wiper to stop somewhere in the wiper arc. Turn the wipers to the on position and allow the wipers to start, and then shut the key off when the wiper has arrived in a desirable position on the windshield. To replace your wiper blades please follow the step by step instruction below. Also, watch the How to replace wiper blades video below to gain additional information. The method in which the wiper blades are attached will vary slightly.
Step 1: With the hood closed, turn the wipers on, when the wipers are in the middle of their arc turn the key to the off position. (Note: if this can't be done because of wiper condition and you want to avoid scratching the windshield please open your hood to gain access)
Step 2: Locate the mounting clips at the top pivot on the wiper blade
Step 3: Release the clip and remove the wiper arm
Step 4: Match the size of the old blade against the new blade to ensure proper fit and operation
Step 5: Reinstall the new wiper blade and recheck wiper operation
Common Problems:
Make sure the wiper blades are the same size as the original blades.
When replacing wiper blades not getting the blade on the mounting pin completely allowing the wiper arm to become dislodged and possibly causing damage to the windshield.
Using wiper blades after the blade has failed permanently damaging the windshield by craving scratches in the wiper arc.
Wiper blade can create a chattering noise when the blade is not properly balanced allowing the blade to "flop" back and forth as the wiper direction changes.
I hope help you with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.
If your just changing the wiper blades, turn the wipers on and when they get to the top, take the key out. They dont move back much but its enough to change them. If you want to take the arms off, lift the hood up and use a 13mm socket or wrench to loosen the nut and then wiggle the arm off. If you need to change the motor, unclip the black molding that the wiper arms are on and you have full access to the motor.
