How do you fix windshield wipers on an 04 Avalanche that shut off?

1. Check the fuses. The first step is to check the fuses for the windshield wipers. The fuses for the windshield wipers are located in the fuse box under the hood. If any of the fuses are blown, replace them with new fuses of the same amperage.

2. Check the wiper motor. If the fuses are not blown, the next step is to check the wiper motor. The wiper motor is located under the hood, near the base of the windshield. If the wiper motor is not working, you may need to replace it.

3. Check the linkage. The linkage for the windshield wipers is a series of rods and gears that connect the wiper motor to the wiper blades. If the linkage is damaged, the wiper blades will not be able to move properly. Inspect the linkage for any damage and replace any damaged parts.

4. Check the wiper blades. If the linkage is in good condition, the next step is to check the wiper blades. Wiper blades can become worn out or damaged over time, which can cause them to stop working properly. If the wiper blades are worn out or damaged, replace them with new wiper blades.

If you have tried all of the above steps and the windshield wipers still do not work, you may need to take your vehicle to a mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
