Why do my wipers go down then up?
sounds like you have it a few cogs off on the gear on the motor shaft. You may be able to loosen the motor enough to move the wipers to the proper parked position (without turning the motor shaft) and then put the motor back in place. Then you should be back in sync.
What causes the intermittent wiper to stop working?
If you make a change in the settings and the wipers don’t react, it’s most likely due to a malfunction in the intermittent wiper relay. This can lead to a potentially unsafe driving situation as sometimes we encounter weather conditions that require the use of the intermittent switch.
When do I need to replace my intermittent wiper relay?
In most cases, a professional mechanic will replace the intermittent wiper relay and the controls at the same time to ensure all of the supporting connections work smoothly together. Having a fully functional intermittent wiper relay is more than a convenience.
What to do when your windshield wipers wont work?
Next time you have no operation when you switch the wipers on check for battery voltage at the motor plug. If there is power, the motor is bad. If there is no power, although the motor could “still” be bad, you first want to trace the circuit back to the power source to figure out where the break is.
When do windshield wiper blades only work one speed?
The windshield wiper blades have one speed. One of the quickest indicators that a problem exists with the intermittent wiper relay is when the wipers are not intermittent and only work at one speed.
