Why do both front and rear wipers not operate?

1. Faulty Wiper Motor: The wiper motor is responsible for driving the wiper arms. If the motor is damaged or faulty, it will not be able to power the wipers.

2. Worn or Damaged Wiper Linkage: The wiper linkage connects the wiper motor to the wiper arms. If the linkage is worn or damaged, it can prevent the wipers from moving properly.

3. Faulty Wiper Switch: The wiper switch controls the operation of the wipers. If the switch is damaged or faulty, it can prevent the wipers from turning on or working correctly.

4. Blown Fuse: There is usually a fuse that protects the wiper motor and other electrical components related to the wipers. If the fuse is blown, it can cause the wipers to stop working.

5. Poor Electrical Connections: Poor electrical connections can prevent the wipers from receiving power. Check the electrical connections between the wiper motor, wiper switch, and power source to ensure they are clean and secure.

6. Obstructed Wiper Arms: Ensure the wiper arms are not obstructed by any debris or ice. If they are obstructed, it can prevent them from moving properly.
