Best Answer

If one wants to replace a wiper linkage there are a few steps involved. Pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until the arm locks in vertical position. Unbolt the nut that holds the wiper arm to the linkage and pull the wiper arm off the linkage. Open the hood and unbolt the wiper motor and slide the motor off of the linkage. One then will remove the wiper linkage and install a new one.

Why does only one wiper work on my 2007 dodge ram?

Dodge uses a plastic wiper bushing (ball and socket type) that connects the motor and linkages. It is designed to break before other more expensive parts, it can wear/dry out overtime. You can check by removing the wiper arms then cowl cover. You can check if it wore/popped off, it is loose, the part can be picked up from an auto parts store. I replaced one on an older dakota, the pack came with 2 was <$10. It is pressed into the linkage, can be difficult, but I was able to do it with channel lock pliers.

YOUR WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING AND IT IS NOT THE FUSE. 1- MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING POWER TO THE WIPER MOTOR, DISCONNECT WIPER MOTOR FROM LINKAGE AND OPERATE, IT SHOULD SPIN 2- MOVE WIPERS MANUALLY WITH MOTOR DISCONNECTED, IT SHOULD MOVE, IF NOT THEN YOUR WIPER LINKAGES ARE SIEZED. 3- LINKAGES SIEZED, REPAIRABLE AND ALSO REPLACEABLE, YOUR OPTION GOOD LUCK......

I just replaced the wiper motor It works just fine without the wiper arm on the motor When you attach the wiper arm it will turn a couple of times and then quit Do I need to replace the wiper arm?

I once had the same thing happen on my Valiant, and discovered that the spindles on the outside(to which the wipers attach)had leaked water and corroded, almost seizing them.I took them apart and used valve grinding paste to free them, and reassembled them using anti-seizeThey've been great ever since. I different take on a similar issue: on my 98 GMC Suburban the wipers would run a while, then stop, then later on they'd run again... all without stopping... but with squinting through the rain on the shield. With replacement junkyard motor in hand I disassembled the wiper arms and motor, replaced the motor... and still it wiped, then stopped. I had to correct the angle of the wiper mechanism linkages to correct the problem, then reinstalled the original motor. Wiper arm linkages can bend due top operation when frozen, or when Ice prevents full travel of the blade. Ised the guide slot on my table saw to help me bend the linkage arm back just right. No problem since.
