ok having a problem with my wiper blades not wanting to turn on. pretty sure it's not the motor, any ideas as to what parts to specifically look at for testing/replacement?

 

have you checked the fuses?

 

yeah checked the fuses, was wondering if there were any specific relays or components in the steering column to look at

 

hmm does it make any noise when they are in the on position?

 

occassionally it would make some noise then go quiet when at the full speed position

 

Probably the motor. Does it turn on intermittently or after a few tries?

 

it's turned on intermittently before but seems to be completely dead as of late. any guides on how to get to the wiper motor? thing seems packed in there

 

try cleaning the dog hair out of it. the car is getting revenge from you never driving it. jfwy.

 

Take the wipers off. use a puller and don't pry on the windshield or it will break.

Take the hood off.

Take the plastic tabs off and remove the two plastic cowl pieces.

Remove the bolts from the driver and passenger wiper mechanism.

From there the motor and wiper mechanism will have enough play to allow you to take the torx bolts out and remove the motor.

To answer your question, yes it is a pain in the ***.

 

thanks for the small write up!

steveo screw you lol
