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.
Most likely, either the linkage to the wiper has become disconnected (or broken), or the wiper pivot is stripped out.
If the motor works on high, or any speed, then it's fine. Switches and resistors control speed and delay.
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 the passenger side wiper works but the driver side does not, it could be due to several reasons. Common issues include a blown fuse specifically for the driver side wiper motor, a malfunctioning wiper motor, or a problem with the linkage or arm that connects the motor to the driver side wiper. Additionally, there may be an issue with the wiper switch or wiring that affects only the driver side. Checking these components can help identify the root cause.
