Look for a broken linkage going from the wiper motor to the wiper arms. Also check to see if the nuts holding the wiper arms are loose, that is one of the most common problems, but usually only affects one wiper arm at a time.

560sl Mercedes passenger windshield wiper stopped rotating?

IF THE LEFT WIPER IS WORKING, YOUR WIPER MOTOR IS WORKING, BECAUSE ONE MOTOR RUNS BOTH SIDES. UNLESS YOU HEAR A LOUD CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM INSIDE YOUR DASHBOARD, THE PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY A LOOSE NUT THAT HOLDS THE WIPER TO THE SHAFT. REMEMBER, THERE IS PAINT ALL AROUND THIS WIPER, SO PUT A TOWEL DOWN SO YOU SCRATCH THINGS UP. TAKE A FLAT BLADE SCREWDRIVER AND CAREFULLY POP UP THE LITTLE COVER AT THE END OF THE WIPER ARM. THIS IS CLOSE TO THE PAINTED PANEL. YOU POP UP THE CAP, AND THAT EXPOSES THE NUT HOLDING THE WIPER BLADE ONTO THE SHAFT THAT THE MOTOR RUNS. I THINK ITS A 13 OR 15 MM NUT. PUSH THE WIPER ASSEMBLY DOWN AS FAR AS IT GOES....CHECK THE NUT, IT WILL PROBABLY BE LOOSE. TIGHTEN IT DOWN, FLIP THE CAP BACK DOWN AND TRY IT...IT SHOULD WORK...

How do you install a wiper motor in a 1991 Nissan Maxima?

First: is it the wipers, wiper arms or motor that is at fault? Most times it is the ball joint piece that comes off, disabling the wipers, and the motor is still good. This reauires replacement of the wiper arm mechanism that has the "socket" on the end, a plastic part. If it is the motor, read on... The motor is located on the passenger side, mounted on the firewall. It "connects" to the arms that move the wipers via a ball joint. The wiper arm has a plastic part that has to be "popped" off the ball of the motor to be able to remove the motor. It simply snaps back on. You facillitate this by removeing the black plastic air vent screen that runs across the engine are near the window. After removing this you will see the arms that control wiper movement. It helps to "undo" the ball/socket if the motor is loose also. Install is just the reverse.

How do you change the wiper motor on a 1994 Ford F150?

I changed mine (1992) by removing the vented piece that runs between the windshield and the hood. Pop the hood and you will find screws to remove this as well as a a few screws from the top in between the grill type vents near the wiper blades. ( Remove the wiper arms and unscrew th antennae also) Lift this pc. out and you will gain access to the nuts that secure the motor to the firewall. Remove the motor harness, then disconnect the motor from the wiper connector. Try new motor by connecting to the harness and turning it on from the cab BEFORE you take anything apart. This will verify taht the motor is the problem. Good luck!
