First the issue with the wipers and blinkers is a bad fuse. The issue with the car not going into drive is the shift censor needs replaced.
Because the windshield wiper is on.
Windshield wipers not working on a 1995 Nissan sentraTry the panel between the hood and the windshield. that is where the linkage is located. I have had problems where the linkage has broken. and the wiper will not work at all
fuse
Did you try moving the wipers arms a notch or two so when they start they are not at the bottom of the windshield but rather an inch or so above the bottom edge of the windshield to make them sweep farther to the outside?
I use to put cardboard on the glass under the wipers, leaving the wipers laying on the cardboard to hold it in place. Unless it is raining, the cardboard does not get soggy, and does not freeze to the windshield and the wipers do not freeze to the cardboard. I lived in PA for 38 years so I have dealt with ice and snow. Then I wised up and moved here to Arizona. 70 degrees today..................sorry to tell you! You could also put a sheet of plastic between the wipers and windshield. You have to start with a dry windshield and wipers so the plastic or cardboard does not freeze to either.
I would start with testing the "park" switch inside the cover of the windshield wiper motor.
Start with the easiest possible solution first; it is most definitely a fuse so look in your owner's manual or possibly even on the fuse box to see which fuse controls those things, take it out and it's probably shot.
Start with checking the fuse / relay...See "Related Questions" below for more
Just like any thing else, the result of your windshield wipers not working could be attributed to a number of things. The main two things I can think of is either your windshield wiper motor or your wiper transmission (yes, there is a transmission for your windshield wipers). Also, I'm not sure but there could possibly be a bad connection someplace...buts that's just a guess. The above said, start with checking the fuse.
I took a piece of electric wire and hook it to the motor of the windshield wiper and place it on any metal part of the car and it start working again someone told me that windshield wipers sometimes lt has to do with electrical ground . but any way it worked. loldianedj
u need a new ignition switch
well my friend, your windshield wipers work off of an electric motor powered by your battery which is charged by the alternator, hope this makes sense to you, if wipers arent working it may be a fuse or the electric motor. if your alternator belt is not on or your alternator isn't working your battery will bo dead pretty quick and your car wont start at all. hope i helped sharris@maplenet.net if you have any car questions
