Removing wiper blades

When you buy the replacement wiper blades, instructions will be printed on the box. Just follow the instructions.

Most likely this is the wiper switch however if the motor has developed a bad resistor it could be the problem. Replace the wiper switch first.

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

2

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.

You have the wrong wiper blade installed, go to autozone or advance auto and show them they will get you the right blade. sounds like blade may be to long or wronge design.

when running the wipers turn the key off upon were you want the wiper to be positioned at for your work

I can help with this problem, I just today had to remove my alternator on our 2003 Montana van. Here is how it is done, first disconnect the wiper motor wires and assembly then the two wiper rods (flat) needs to be loosened and disconnected, next comes the pipe cross member that when removed will also remove the complete wiper assembly. The bad thing is, after you do all this and the alternator is not the problem. Which in my case it wasn't. I hope this helps all who are having this problem.

lift the wipers to their "up" position. at the base you will see a small clip, lift up on this clip and let the wiper down slowly while holding out the clip. the wiper will not go all the way down, in this position pull up on the base and the wiper should come free.

When you purchase a wiper blade, the step-by-step instructions are included in the package. It will be a matter of carefully pulling up and out, then reverse the steps to install.
