Q:My dad bought me a 2013 Honda civic, i‘m 17, I know how to turn on the windshield wipers but how do you make the cleaning fluid come out? I‘m sorry if this sounds dumb but I cannot figure it out! Please help! Thanks!

u should put it on the wipers themselves :)

Q:When I was a little kid I remember windshield wipers pointed towards the center of the windshield and went up and down opposite each other in a staggered fashion. Then at some point they started pointing in the same direction and moving up and down at the same pattern and rate. I‘ve always wondered why this changed.Does anyone know what I‘m talking about? If so, don‘t you think the old way got the windshield cleaner?Thanks!

Many old cars of the '50's and '60's had opposed wipers. Many used cable systems ( complicated ), newer cars used opposable but with hard linkages, but cumbersome, too. I would bet that one reason is that the old wiper motors used to be mounted dead center in the engine compartment, when they moved them off to the side, they could then mount one wiper in the center, so they could both move in the same direction. Probably less linkage complications and no cable crossovers with the wipers this way. Most wiper motors are now on the driver's side firewall. I'd say the main reason was to uncomplicate the linkage / cable pulley systems.

Q:My mom has a 2002 or 2003 buick century and when u turn the windshied wiper blades off they stop in the middle of the windshield standing straight up. Its been happening for about a yr now but when you turn them on they wrk any idea how to fix this?

or you could remove the wiper blade arm by removing the cover at the base of the arm and undoing the nut. Then remove the arm and turn it to the right position and replace the nut and cover Source(s):

Q:I got new ones but I can‘t seem to get the old ones off.is there some big Toyota secret I am not privy to?

If You go to like advance auto they will install them for free. Life is great.

Q:When it is hot out my wipers stop working after 20 min. When it is cold I have no problem.

Okay. Try this one. When the wipers stop working, try running a temporary ground from the motor to the frame (try a jumper cable). Frequently these things lose their ground. If this works, simply take a wire and make a new ground. It's also possible that the motor is getting old and overheating, in which case you need a new one.

Q:My winshield wipers aren‘t working at all. All I hear is a noise, but it isn‘t moving like it‘s supposed to. I want this fixed immediately, just in case it rains. What are some causesto be aware of before I do estimates and take it in for repair? I never had this issue before. Its a 2006 pontiac g6.

Two possibilities the wiper arms are loose , tight the nuts or the mechanism inside came loose , so the motor turns but no the bars, look trough the little grill , just below the windshield, there is a bar that runs from the motor to the other wiper arm , if you hear the motor running but the bars are not they came out of the motor bracket , so remove that grill and connect the bar back in place , just push it back in to the ball pin , if it comes back out again , the bushing must be replace

Q:I have a 91 blazer I changed the fuse but its still not working,

the wipers and washers are 2 separate items ! if the wipers are not moving then it could be the wiper motor or the wiper switch since you said the fuses are good ! maybe the long arm that hooks on the wiper motor popped off !

Q:My windshield wipers arent working, what does that cost?

Try checking the fuse first. $0.10 USD. If it's the motor then without knowing make and model of the vehicle in question there is no way to estimate the cost.
