- Check your vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the windshield wipers. If you find a blown fuse, replace it with a new one of the same amperage.
2. Faulty Wiper Motor:
- The wiper motor is responsible for powering the wiper blades. If the motor is faulty, it won't be able to provide power to the wipers. Check the motor for any damage or corrosion.
3. Defective Wiper Linkage:
- The wiper linkage is a system of rods and arms that connect the wiper motor to the wiper blades. If any of these components are damaged or disconnected, it can prevent the wipers from working.
4. Faulty Wiper Switch:
-The wiper switch is the component that you use to control the wipers. If the switch is faulty, it may not be able to send power to the wiper motor. Check the switch for any damage or corrosion.
5. Wiring Problems:
-Check the wiring related to the windshield wipers for any damage, such as loose connections, broken wires, or corrosion. Ensure the wires are properly connected and free from damage.
6. Faulty Relay:
-Some vehicles use relays to control the wipers. If the relay is faulty, it can prevent power from reaching the wiper motor. Check the relay for any damage or corrosion.
7. Faulty Windshield Wiper Blades:
- If the wiper blades are worn out, damaged, or incorrectly installed, they may not be able to properly wipe the windshield, even if the rest of the wiper system is functioning correctly. Check the condition and installation of the wiper blades to ensure they are making proper contact with the windshield.
8. Seized Wiper Motor:
- Over time, the wiper motor can become seized due to rust or dirt buildup. If the motor is seized, it won't be able to rotate and drive the wiper blades.
9. Damaged Wiper Transmission:
- The wiper transmission is the mechanism that converts the rotary motion of the wiper motor into the reciprocating motion of the wiper blades. If the transmission is damaged, it won't be able to move the wiper blades.
10. Faulty Ground Connection:
- The wiper system requires a proper ground connection to function. Check the ground connection for the wipers to ensure it is clean and making good contact.
