because it is a Chrysler product. either your bushing broke on one side, or the transmission arm is broken. bushing is about $5. at a parts store.
The wiper relay on a 98 Wrangler is located under the hood. It is in the relay/fuse housing on the passenger side of the car.
it is only the drivers side wiper that is having the problem it works randomly but does not go all the way across the windshiled when it does work. The passenger side windshield wiper works fine.
The wiper motor is on the driver's side, behind the dash board. if you fold you front windshield down, that will expose your wiper motor.
If the driver's side works it is probably a broken linkage or wiper transmission problem not a fuse
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.
In the fuse box under the driver side dash above the e-brake pedal.
because it's broken!
The nut holding the wiper arm to the wiper transmission is loose. Shut the wipers off, move drivers side wiper where it should be in the off position and tighten nut. There may be a plastic cover over the nut that you must remove to gain access.
If the passenger wiper works, either the drivers side wiper arm or the windshield wiper transmission is defective. The linkages that work the wiper arms is called a transmission.
Most likely, either the linkage to the wiper has become disconnected (or broken), or the wiper pivot is stripped out.
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?
On the bottom (hood or cowl side) of the wiper arm is a little curved tab. With the wiper's springloaded arm folded away from the windshield move this tab away from the arm and the entire wiper arm assembly will come free from the shaft. Do this very gently, it should be very easy to do.
