However, I can give you some general troubleshooting steps and things to consider:
1. Identify the Problem:
* Wipers Not Working at All: Is there no power going to the motor? Is the motor itself bad? Is the fuse blown?
* Wipers Move Slowly or Erratically: Is there a problem with the motor, linkage, or the wiper blades themselves?
* Wipers Make Noise: Could it be worn blades, a dry linkage, or a problem with the motor?
2. Troubleshooting:
* Check the Fuse: Consult your owner's manual to find the fuse for the windshield wiper motor. Replace the fuse if it's blown.
* Check the Wiper Motor: Make sure the motor is getting power. You can do this by testing the motor with a multimeter (if you are comfortable with electrical work).
* Inspect the Linkage: Look for any signs of rust, wear, or damage in the linkage connecting the motor to the wiper arms.
* Check the Wiper Blades: Ensure the blades are in good condition and properly attached.
* Lubricate the Linkage: If the linkage is dry, apply a bit of silicone lubricant to reduce friction.
3. Seek Professional Help:
If you can't identify or fix the problem, it's best to take your Maxima to a qualified mechanic. They have the experience and tools to diagnose and repair the issue correctly.
Remember: Before starting any repair work, make sure you have the right tools and are comfortable working with electrical and mechanical components. It's always safer to err on the side of caution and seek professional help if you're unsure.
