Can I drive in the rain without windshield wipers?
Without windshield wipers, wet weather driving would be like swimming without goggles. The motor and linkage that actually move the wipers can wear out, too, so if yours aren’t working properly, get them inspected to see what’s broken.
Why does my windshield wiper keep working intermittently?
If the problem is not in the switch, then there could be a bad relay in the circuit (if so equipped), loose fuse, bad ground, and/or the motor could have a bad (intermittent) connection on the armature. Also, of course, you could have a combination of these electrical faults. It’s easy to diagnose.
What should I do if my Nissan Altima fuse is not working?
If a new fuse also opens, have the electrical system checked and repaired by a Nissan dealer or a repair facility of your choice. If any electrical equipment does not operate and fuses are in good condition, check the fusible links. Never use a fuse of a higher or lower amperage rating than that specified.
What happens if there is no power to the wiper?
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. Once the circuit is fixed, of course if the motor still doesn’t work, it’s condemned and replaced.

How are windshield washer blades attached to the wipers?
The rotary motion of your spinning wiper motor is converted to the back-and-forth motion of the wipers by a linkage that is somewhat similar to what you would see on a steam locomotive. The rubber blades attached to the wiper arms then clear your windshield. Your windshield washer system backs up the proper operation of your wipers.
When did electric windshield wipers start to work?
These were vacuum-powered, and were popular until around 1960, when electric-powered wipers took over. The rotary motion of your spinning wiper motor is converted to the back-and-forth motion of the wipers by a linkage that is somewhat similar to what you would see on a steam locomotive.
