Big-ted Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Made the mistake of not freeing the front wiper before the drive to the office this morning in -3 (celsius) temperatures. The wiper struggled, then proceeded to move across the windshield, before sticking in the up position. Turning the car off, then on again, the wiper resets as normal when starting and rests in the proper down position, but as soon as I turn the wiper on, it moves across the windshield and sticks in the up position again. The fact that it can move, and across the full range, tells me it's not a fuse burned out or a damaged linkage, right? Thanks in advance!

kruzr1 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 You might make sure the nut holding the arm to the wiper motor post is tight. There's a black cap that covers it, it just pops off to gain access to the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-ted Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 All sorted. I guess the two wipers had gotten out of sync. Moving the passenger side by hand up to the top of the screen, then starting the vehicle caused both wipers to reset, and now everything works fine. Weird.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
