Default Wiper Problem

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?

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

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 ***.
