Possible Causes:
* Stuck Motor: The wiper motor itself could be malfunctioning, preventing it from stopping. This is a common issue with electric motors.
* Faulty Switch: The rear wiper switch might be stuck in the "on" position, even though you've pulled the fuse.
* Wiring Issue: A short circuit or broken wire in the wiring harness could be keeping power flowing to the motor.
* Faulty Relay: The relay responsible for controlling the wiper motor may be stuck closed, constantly sending power to the motor.
What NOT to Do:
* Do not force the wiper arm: This could damage the motor or the wiper arm itself.
* Do not attempt to disconnect the motor without proper knowledge: You could risk electrical shock or further damage to the vehicle.
What to Do:
1. Disconnect the Battery: This is the safest way to completely cut off power to the system and prevent further damage.
2. Consult a Professional: It's best to take your CRV to a trusted mechanic or Honda dealership. They can properly diagnose the problem and provide the necessary repairs.
3. Research Online (with Caution): If you're comfortable with basic car maintenance, you could research specific repair steps online for your Honda CRV model. However, be extremely cautious and only follow instructions from reputable sources.
Important Safety Reminder: Working with electrical systems in a vehicle can be dangerous. Always exercise caution and seek professional help if you're not confident in your abilities.
