how to fix Honda Accord Eleventh Generation (2023-present) windshield wipers not working

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed: wiper motor, wiper switch, fuses, and replacement linkage if necessary.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Inspect and Replace Wiper Fuse

• Locate the fuse box, typically found under the dashboard or engine compartment.
• Identify the wiper fuse using the diagram on the fuse box cover.
• Remove the fuse with a fuse puller and check for continuity using a multimeter.
• Replace the fuse with the correct amperage if it is blown.

3. Test and Replace Wiper Motor

• Disconnect the wiper motor electrical connector.
• Use a multimeter to test for voltage at the motor connector while activating the wiper switch.
• If voltage is present but the motor does not operate, remove the motor by unscrewing it from its mount.
• Install the new wiper motor by reversing the removal steps and connect the electrical harness.

4. Check and Replace Wiper Linkage (if needed)

• Remove the wiper arms by loosening the mounting nuts with a socket set.
• Detach the linkage by unscrewing it from the motor and any attached points.
• Inspect for wear or damage; replace if necessary with a new linkage assembly.
• Reinstall the linkage, ensuring it is securely mounted to the motor and wiper arms.

5. Reassemble and Test

• Reconnect the battery and turn on the ignition.
• Test the wipers and wiper fluid function to ensure proper operation.
• Replace any covers or panels removed during the repair process.
