Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety.

2. Check and Replace Fuse

• Locate the fuse box (typically under the dashboard or in the engine compartment).
• Remove the wiper fuse using a fuse puller or pliers.
• Inspect the fuse; if blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage (usually 30A).

3. Inspect Wiper Motor Connector

• Locate the wiper motor, usually at the base of the windshield.
• Disconnect the wiring harness from the wiper motor.
• Clean any corrosion from the electrical connector using contact cleaner.
• Reconnect the wiring harness securely.

4. Test Wiper Switch

• Remove the steering column cover to access the wiper switch.
• Use a multimeter to check for continuity when the switch is activated.
• If the switch is defective, replace it with a new switch.

5. Inspect Wiper Linkage

• Remove the wiper arms using a puller or a flathead screwdriver.
• Inspect the linkage for any signs of damage or blockage.
• If damaged, replace the wiper linkage assembly.

6. Test and Replace Wiper Motor (if necessary)

• Apply direct battery power to the wiper motor terminals using jumper wires.
• If the motor does not operate, replace the wiper motor with a new one.
• Reconnect all components and wiper arms after installation.
