Fixing Windshield Wiper Blades Not Working on a 2022 Toyota Camry (XV70)

Tools Required
  • Flathead screwdriver
  • Phillips screwdriver
  • Multimeter
  • Fuse puller
  • Pliers
  • Socket and ratchet set
  • Safety glasses
  • Work gloves
Repair Instructions
Step 1: Check Wiper Control Stalk
  • Ensure that the wiper control stalk is functioning properly. If it feels loose or doesn’t click into place, it may need replacement.
Step 2: Inspect the Wiper Blades
  • If the blades are damaged or worn, replace them:
    1. Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield.
    2. Locate the release tab on the wiper blade attachment.
    3. Press the tab and slide the blade off the arm.
    4. Attach the new blade by sliding it onto the arm until it clicks into place.
Step 3: Check and Replace the Wiper Fuse
  1. Open the fuse box and locate the wiper fuse.
  2. Remove the fuse and inspect it. If it's blown (the metal strip inside the fuse is broken), replace it with one of the same amperage.
  3. Reinsert the fuse into the fuse box and test the wipers again.
Step 4: Test the Wiper Motor
  1. Disconnect the wiper motor connector.
  2. Set the multimeter to the DC voltage setting.
  3. Turn the ignition to the ON position (do not start the engine).
  4. Activate the wiper control. Use the multimeter probes to test for voltage at the motor connector.
  5. If there is no voltage, the problem may be in the wiring or the control stalk.
Step 5: Inspect Wiper Linkage
  1. Remove the plastic cover from the base of the wiper arms by gently prying it off with a flathead screwdriver.
  2. Use a socket and ratchet to remove the nuts securing the wiper arms to the motor.
  3. Lift the arms off and set them aside.
  4. Inspect the wiper linkage for any signs of damage or disconnection.
  5. If damaged, replace the linkage assembly or reattach it if it has come loose.
Step 6: Reassemble and Test
  1. Reattach the wiper arms and secure them with the nuts.
  2. Replace the plastic cover over the wiper base.
  3. Start the vehicle and test the wipers in all settings to ensure proper operation.
Conclusion

If after following these steps the windshield wipers still do not function, further diagnostics may be needed, potentially involving wiring issues or a faulty wiper motor that requires professional evaluation.
