1. Check the fuse. The fuse for the front wipers is located in the fuse box under the hood. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.
2. Check the wiper motor. The wiper motor is located under the hood, near the base of the windshield. If the wiper motor is not running, check the electrical connection to the motor. If the electrical connection is good, the wiper motor may be faulty and need to be replaced.
3. Check the linkage. The linkage is the mechanism that connects the wiper motor to the wiper blades. If the linkage is damaged or disconnected, the wiper blades will not move properly. Check the linkage for damage and reconnect it if necessary.
4. Check the wiper blades. The wiper blades are the rubber blades that actually wipe the windshield. If the wiper blades are worn or damaged, they will not be able to clean the windshield properly. Replace the wiper blades if they are worn or damaged.
Tips
- If the front wipers are not working properly, it is important to troubleshoot the problem as soon as possible to avoid damage to the windshield.
- If you are uncomfortable working on your own vehicle, you can take it to a qualified mechanic to have the front wipers repaired.
