Hi all,

My wife's windshield wipers have stopped. I can hear the motor running. She indicated that before it died, it would pause in the down position. I have moved the blade through the motion with the windshield motor running but there is no tendency to grab or move at all. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Sam

 

sounds like the nut came off the motor/linkage. Be very carefull pulling the cowling away from the windshield. It's hard to get off and I cracked a window taking one off. I've pulled many off and havent broken them but when that one happens you tend to be a little cautious. I can't picture that setup in my head but once your in there it's easy to figure out. If your doing it yourself. Other option is that the linkage broke or a joint came apart.

 

Thanks,

I'll take a look at it tomorrow...

Thanks....

As it turned out it was a nut on the bottom of the assembly. I took photos coming out and will post a guide for those who might follow. Will definitely lube this thing on a regular basis. I'm sure the vibration is what caused the nut to spin off. A little grease and a generous portion of lock tight for the nut and the wife is back in business!

Thanks for the help...

Sam
