no. Make sure wiper is in "OFF" position before you turn off your car.
On this model, the wiper fuse is a circuit breaker in the wiper switch. There is a Blk/lt-grn wire (black light green), that has power from the ignition switch feeding the wiper switch. Check at the switch plug to make sure you have power coming in on this wire when the ignition switch is on. If you need more info, send me a message.
Start by checking the fuses. If those are good, then you move on to the switch, make sure there's power going to the switch, and make sure the switch has continuity when it is engaged. If that checks out, unplug the wiper motor and ensure that power is getting to the wiper motor. If power is getting to it, jump the wiper motor from a power source other than the wiper motor circuit to verify that the fault is in the wiper motor... if it doesn't function at that point, then you need to replace it. The wiper motors are fairly common... almost certain any of the major auto parts chains can get one, but I'd recommend giving Rock Auto a try first.
Hard to say because no make, model or year was given. Some possibilities are, wiper transmission, wiper motor, park switch or possible switch
Wiper park switch is bad
Check the switch and make sure it is working. If it is, the problem may be the wiper motor itself, which will be located inside the rear panel on the back door...the wiper will be connected to it.
its probably the wiper transmition. try googleing how to replace wiper transmittion for Chevy Impalla. or it might be that just one of the motors is bad, which is like an $80 part (from gspeedshop first i would check the nut under the cover on the bottom of the wiper arm these nuts are made to loosen up if wiper is jammed from ice or snow flip the bottom cover up and i think its a 13 mm nut make sure its tight if tight then check wiper linkage)
First you have to remove the cover on the steering column. Then locate the mounting screw for the switch. When installing the new switch make sure the alignment is correct.
The wiper arms could be loose or out of time. Check the wiper arms to make sure that they are not loose or have slipped at the motor, causing a timing issue.
The lever is attached directly to the wiper switch inside column, right beside the ignition tumbler. The wires on it are for the cruise only. Changing the lever is easy, turn and pull, the wires on the other hand involves a little more First, locate the connection under dash for cruise, diconnect and wire it up so you can 'fish it up' through steering columnn and out the hole where the lever and wiper switch are. Make sure you have the correct switch by comparing the cruise connector, some are different. Then, fish the new one back down the column, and connect Be extra careful when you turn and pull the lever from wiper switchwhen disconnecting, I think it is turn the switch counterclockwise and pull....gingerly, DO not be hasty, should you brak the wiper switch youll be off to the local garage for a repair bill
Becuase I think the question has to do with the electrical switch on the steering colum and not the wiper blades themselves. My thoughts would be along the lines of a worn switch on the arm comming off the colum, a wire inside the colum broken or a dirty contact inside the arm itself. It really has NOTHING to do with the wiper blades being "stretched". That just doesn't make any sense.
The Park switch is located in the wiper motor housing and is not replaceable. Please go to local junk yard and get another wiper motor and install. Please note the plastic switch components are a poor design and made with brittle plastic. Also please use a lubricant from a hobby store that can be used on plastic components and won't make the plastic more brittle. Thank You for asking. Jim
