99 neon wipers won't move but hear moter run - 1999 Dodge Neon

If upon turning the switch, you hear either a buzzing or a noise coming from the wiper area but no movement of the windshield wipers, then it becomes likely that there is a mechanical problem. In front wiper systems, there are two moving parts, the wiper motor and the wiper transmission. In rear wiper systems with a single wiper, there’s a single moving part, the wiper motor.

If you hear a buzz, it could be a motor straining to move a jammed wiper transmission or a locked motor gear. If you hear a grind coming from the wiper area, it could be a stripped gear in either the motor, the transmission or where the wiper arm splines to the wiper motor in the rear. Don’t let the term transmission fill you with dread; it’s simply a term for a multi-lever set of arms and hinges that turn the circular motion of the wiper motor into the side to side motion of the wiper arms. It is also possible that the spline on the post of the front wiper arms is stripped.

Generally speaking, you can reach the motor and transmission by removing the wiper arms, all the screws that hold the cowl beneath the wiper arms and the weather stripping. Once exposed, you should be able to remove the motor from the transmission and check to see if the transmission is binding or if the motor is the culprit. Simply, replace the culprit, and reassemble.

If the problem is with the rear wiper system, getting to the wiper motor can be more difficult with far more trim to remove than with a front system. You may elect to consult your mechanic for help.

Sounds like a broken linkage. On most vehicles have to remove the wiper arms then the cowl to acces the motor and linkages.

To check the fuse is always a good start. But also ,with the engine not running and the Key in the on position, turn the wipers on and listen for the wiper moter. You may hear the wiper motor running but the wipers not working ,they could have come disconnected at the motor or in the linkage. Physically move the wipers, if they move freely with no resistants, that would indicate a disconnection in the linkage or at the motor, in my opinion.

moters probuly going out check voltage at conection.

Sounds like you need a new winshield wiper motor,if you can hear the motor but the blades wont move try moving them by hand while the motor is going mybe you will get lucky

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

There isn't a cable, its a flat bar with push on connectors at each end one of which has probably popped off
You need to take off the mesh panel that goes the width of th car just below the wind shield to access this.
There is only one motor and if you can hear it working its probably OK

the linkage has popped off the back you need to get to it to push it back on ots possibly worn and needs replacing

yes you can simple problem to fix there are rodes that connect the two wipers together with a rocker arm it has com loose from the moter there are screws under the hood holding a panel closet to your winshild and there are screws in the panel out side the hood you will need to remove the windshild wipers to remove this panel once it is off you will see what i'm telling you

First check that the nut on the arm is secute,and that the motor is running ,also check the fues ,if you cannot heare the moter and the fues is ok change the moter
