Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety during repairs.
2. Inspect and Replace Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box, typically found under the dashboard on the driver’s side.
  • Remove the cover and locate the wiper fuse using the diagram on the fuse box lid.
  • Check the fuse for continuity; if it is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage (usually 15A).
  • Reinstall the fuse box cover.
3. Test and Replace Wiper Motor
  • Reconnect the battery and activate the wiper switch.
  • If the motor does not operate, disconnect the wiring harness from the motor.
  • Using a multimeter, check for voltage at the motor connector while the wiper switch is activated.
  • If there is voltage, the motor is faulty and needs replacement. Remove the wiper arms by loosening the nuts with a socket set, then unbolt the motor from its mounting point.
  • Install the new wiper motor by reversing the removal steps, ensuring it is securely bolted in place.
4. Check and Clean Wiring Connections
  • Inspect the wiring harness connected to the wiper motor for any signs of corrosion or damage.
  • Clean the connections with electrical contact cleaner and reconnect securely.
5. Test Wiper Operation
  • Reconnect the battery and test the wiper operation by activating the switch.
  • Ensure the wipers move smoothly without any binding.
