The windshield wiper switch is broken which is located on the windshield wiper motor. You need to replace the whole motor to fix this.
The fuses for the wipers should be in the driver side engine compartment. the fuse box should be next to the intake. If you cant find the box;you can go to a local parts store and find a haynes book. it will have everthing you need for your saturn.
Check the fuse for the wipers.
Normally its a fuse. Check your owner's manual to find where the fuses are and which one is related to the wipers.
leave the wiper stalk/control set down one stop from off when you switch off the engine, it will then work automatically when it rains and the engine is running
If the motor is turning, but the wipers are not moving, then you have a broken or disconnected linkage.
IIRC its in the underhood fuse box
It's your wiper modular
Windshield wipers running continuously on a 2003 Saturn Vue can be caused by a faulty wiper relay, a malfunctioning wiper switch, or an issue with the wiper motor itself. Additionally, a short circuit in the wiring can also lead to this problem. Inspecting these components can help diagnose and resolve the issue. If necessary, consulting a professional mechanic is recommended for a thorough check.
Because they are broken.
It is most likely the wiper stalk/switch. Try pulling the fuse for the wipers. If that stops them, then it is the stalk/switch.
May need a new pig tail behind the ignition switch.
you turn on the wipers and it sounds like theres a gear sliping, sounds like its running but makes noise?
