Best Answer

the linkage arm is broken or disconnected.

The wiper motor drives a mechanical linkage which connects both arms. Either something is broken or has become disconnected. You will need to look at it to see what the problem is. Sorry I dont know what bits of plastic/trim need to be removed. Open the bonnet and look at the top to try and uncover it.

Remove the windscreen wipers on peugeot 406?

If you want to change only the wipers, there are some clips over windscreen wipers. You have to lift up (with your hand) the wiper and un-clip, place the new and then clip again. If you want to remove the hole system you have: *to open the hood *at the beginning of wiper construction there is one big screw remove this with a key (it might stack, so you may hit it a little bit to unstack or use oil) Then you are done. You have removed the hole windscreen wiper system.

Does the word windscreens have a apostrophe?

Probably not; we would use the word "windscreen's" to make it possessive, as in some object that belonged to the windscreen. "Windscreens" without an apostrophe would mean that you are making the word plural, as in "more than one windscreen".


If on an L reg Escort only one of the windscreen wipers is working could it be the relay and if so how would you fix it?

The first thing to check would be the nut at the bottom on the windshield wiper that isn't working. Make sure that it's tight. It isn't a relay issue.


What is wiper system in car?

A car's wiper system is designed to keep the windscreen (windshield) clear of rain. It consists of a synthetic rubber blade, held on a resilient arm which is pivoted at one end. The arm oscillates back and forth such that the rubber blade sweeps across the windscreen and disperses the rainwater. Its function is aided by including jets which can spray water containing a detergent on to the screen.
