Q:could take out fuse and put in new one and worked on high now it blows every fuse i put in it.tried with everything turned off (radio,heater.etc)even when engine off as soon as i started it blowed the fuse.is it the whole motor needs replaced ???was told there is some kind of relay switch in it but dont know for sure.any ideas?? suppost to start raining tomarrow.

It sounds like the wiper motor to me. it could have shorted out and now it's stuck with the jumper switch on the inside of the motor to ON. Try to unplug the motor wiring harness and then replace the fuse if it has a short it should blow the fuse right away if it does not plug in the wiper motor wiring back in and if it blows the fuse, then it's a faulty motor and needs to be replaced. I never replace them with a used motor cause you never get the same kind of warranty as if you bought one with a good warranty. I have aways said you get what you pay for! Roy Boy Toy

Q:i have a 99 jeep grand cherokee. I took my wipers off today to repaint them and i forgot to mark them. now that they are done i realize they are 2 different lengths. I tried a part number search but nothing came up. anyone know which one goes where?

The windshield wiper arms on the Jeep Grand Cherokee are the same length on both the driver and passenger side and if yours has a shorter or longer arm on one side or the other then it is because someone changed one of the arms and did not install the proper OEM length arm.

Q:I have looked everywhere for a new one Advanced auto parts, Autozone, Checker Auto parts etc. I have even looked online for parts etc and no one has a replacement It is for a 98‘ Saturn SL1 on the passenger side and the part of the arm that screws on is almost completely smooth and stripped so it doesn‘t move when the wiper motor turns it. I am almost trying to think of a way to Frankenstein it and use like mighty putty or something to put it back on. Does anyone have any suggestions or know where I can find this part?

Is it the arm itself that is bad or the wiper post that is bad? Have you tried junkyards? How about from the dealer? I wouldn't suggest any kind of adhesive in case it ever needs be removed again for some reason. If you really insist on doing the Frankenstein job on it, slap a little JB Weld on it, it won't go any where, just let it dry for a day or two before using it, the cold temps and very little exposure to air will slow the curing process.

Q:my dad is buying a 1975 camaro, and it doesn‘t have wipers. i‘ve heard of people doing this to their car, but i‘m curious as to why.

Some do it to improve the look. They figure it is a show car and that they wont be driving it in the rain anyway. Many people trailer classic and custom cars, and would not consider taking them out if the weather was not very nice. Hope this helps.

Q:The wipers had been thawed and refrozen. When we went out and started the Blazer, the passenger side wiped okay, but the driver side did not as it was frozen in. Now when you use them, the passenger side still wipes okay, but the driver side wiper only goes up about four inches when the passenger side wiper is all the way up (vertical). I am afraid a gear or something is sheared off, but I am hoping someone here might know better than I. Thanks for your help.

You really only need the driver wiper. You can take that passanger side motor and switch it with the driverside. Thats easy fix if repositioning it doesnt work

Q:Can someone tell me how to hook up windshield wiper motor to a 63 impala? I recently bought this ride and would like to have WW working. The actual wipers work but there is no wiper fluid tank so I need to get one and hook it up. Also am getting the optikleen bottle and would like to know what this does and how it is hooked up. Thanks much.

On the wiper motor there is a pump,it has two hose hookups the same size as a vaccuum line 1/4,one is in one is out to the spray nozzles in the grating in front of the wipers,hook hose from tank to one and hose from pump to the sray nozzles,try it,if it does not spray switch hose hookups at the pump and try again.

Q:wipers act erratic, sometimes they work fine, other times not at all, even when i manually coax them.

Yes, AutoZone carry the replacement circuit boards in the help section PT# 88136 for approx $30. bucks. Just had to replace the one on my '91 Silverado Z71 a couple of yrs. ago. Opps, this circuit board is located on the wiper motor and is hold on w/ three toro(sp?) screws. Remove the three screw on the cover plate and the board can be pulled right out. Where you can just place the replacement circuit board w/ the new board, in it's place. Once you dis-connect the power supply connection, feedin into the side of the board. The circuit boards in the 88-98 are known to give this problem. Once they develop the crack in the circuit(s). Good luck!

Q:i‘ve just recently installed 1 pair of brand new bosch wiper, but my wiper still jumping occasionally though its raining i usually spray the windshield w/ washer fluids mixed w/ washer solution.and eventually the wiper goes smoothbut after sometimes its gets jumping againwhat should i do?please advicethanks

The problem may be your tension arms on your wipers. Your wipers are mounted to springs so that pressure can be applied evenly as the wiper swipes across the changing surface of your windshield. If your springs or pivot points are corroded, they may not be compensating for the curve of the windshield, and the pressure might be too great in one spot. Check your wiper arms for corrosion, and work them back and forth a few times to loosen them up. You can use some lube on them, but that can cause lots of problems if it gets on your windshield.

Q:My wind shield wipers will not work properly, every time i go to turn on they sometimes dont turn on, other times when they do go on i turn them off and they wont go off so i have to stop my truck to turn them off. Im kind of thinking this has something to do with my service engine soon light that stays on but im not sure. if anyone can help me out i would be thankful

Sounds like you have a GM automobile. Truck ? The circuit board located on the wiper motor is famous for going bad at just the wrong time. They are sold at most Napa Car quest stores. Very easy to replace. I am only thinking that may be your troubles. Get more than one quote. There is also a combination switch that is on the column,It has all the stuff on it. Cruise ,dimmer,turn Etc. Good luck

Q:a few days ago the windshied wipers on my chevy malibu stopped working. at first they moved a little then stopped totally, can anyone tell me what‘s wrong with them. alos how much would it possibly cost to fix them.

Spray it down with PB Blaster, and hit it with a dead-blow hammer (rubber mallet). This should break up the 14 years of rust and grime.
