but a new blade, or take an engraver and scratch new grooves and pack with metal to fill gap. ive done it it works.
That only works for the front wipers, I'm trying to figure out the rear wiper blade...sorry, but at least I READ your question.
If the motor works on high, or any speed, then it's fine. Switches and resistors control speed and delay.
Most likely, either the linkage to the wiper has become disconnected (or broken), or the wiper pivot is stripped out.
It is the wiper control module mounted on top of the wiper motor. Available at most auto parts stores for just under $30. The salespeople have limited knowledge of this part and will try to sell you everything from a wiper motor to the wiper switch on the steering wheel. The correct name and part number is Wiper Motor Pulse Board Module 81-158pb.
the wiper arm is pressed on to a splined shaft. the shaft or the arm could be stripped. you need to remove the arm and see if the motor is still turning the shaft and to check the splines.
If only one wiper is working then you have a linkage problem. There is an arm that runs from one side to the other. It has bushings that wear out. You can also have a stripped spline where the wiper arm hooks up.
Possible the motor, but before replacing it remove the wiper arms from the motor itself and then run the wipers, if motor works then check both sides right and Left of the arms rust builds inside making it impossible to move, clean it up and lubricate and test it to see if it works.
I have a 2008 Saturn Vue. I was driving during a heavy rain storm, I had my wipers on the fasted they would go. Not long after, the passenger side wiper just quit. The drivers side wiper works fine. Could it be a window wiper motor?
Sound to me like your wiper motor is out. The water pump is totally separate from the wiper motor. Good Luck!!!
The wiper linkage is bad. Or the wiper arm stud bushings (where the arms attach to the cowl) are rotted out.
The mechanism inside the box is stripped.
if you know where the wiper motor is there is 4 or 2 bolt holding it on. it will just be a bolt not and nuts. thanks ------------------------------------- The above is completely incorrect. First off their is 3 bolts holding it on. But it is so much more complicated. you need to remove the access panel that leads to the cowl, you need to pry the ball joint appart. a screw driver works, then manuver the motor in a way you can take the bolt off from behind, (hopefully you dont have large hands) (hopefully you do have ratcheting wrenches, although it is possible with out one... just a pain) once that nut comes off, pop off the pieces its holding on, and the replacment is the opposite.... but dont expect the take out to be easy.
