Windshield Wipers not Working
My windshield wipers all of the sudden quit working at none of the speed settings but for some reason the wipers work with the washer tab. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Mine are doing the opposit. They won't turn off. Its been raining here for the past 4 days and when I got in the car yesterday, they wouldn't turn off. The switch is off, but the wipers still go. I had to pull the fuse. Havn't had much time to look at it yet.

I have a similar problem with mine... sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Whenever they don't work, they will still function either on high speed or by hitting the washer tab, just like yours.
From what I've heard from researching this, it's either the relay on the board itself, or the actual motor is dying. Either way, you gotta pull the windshield wiper motor out, which is under the cowl, under the driver's side wiper. Sounds like a PITA to get to, and if you're going to pull it anyway, you might as well get an all new wiper motor assembly.

What fuse did you pull to disable the entire system ? Its not supposed to rain here [ hopefully ] so I might as do that as a band aid fix for now...
I'm also wondering if resetting the battery will fix this ? looks like a timing issue lol..
Its a 98 TA
Thanks!!!
