Windshields and Wipers

I'm going with the assumption that this question is asking about what are commonly called the rubber blade refill inserts rather than the wiper blade which is everything attached to the wiper arm; blade and frame.

Most likely yes - you can just replace the rubber insert however in most cases I don't recommend it, especially if you live in cold winter weather climates which puts a lot of stress on the entire wiper blade or you live in a climate where you use your wipers quite a bit. The difference in price, mechanical skill (and patience) between installing refill inserts and full wiper blades is relatively small. If you replace the whole wiper blade, its cheap insurance that your blades will perform better when you most need them.

I am having the same problem. Can't find help

Aircraft have wipers for many reasons, such as: take off and landing in rainy/snowy conditions, as well as ground operations like taxing and parking at the gate. Pilots has to be able to have a clear view of whats ahead of them.

Driver 24" and passanger 22"

First you turn them on if they are not working go to the front of the car and check to make sure the blade is on. Make sure nothing is blocking the wandarm from moving.

The 2000-2005 Ford Focus takes 22" driver side, 19" passenger side, 14" rear on hatchbacks and 10 or 11" rear on wagons.

Possibly multiple causes:

Easiest fix: the reservoir is empty, or the fluid is frozen iin the tank or in the lines.

Slightly harder fix: the fuse for the pump is blown or the tube that connects the pump to the nozzles is broken/disconnected.

A little more difficult fix: switch or pump is broken.

After you put the key in, go to accessory, turn off the stereo, heater, and anything else that makes noise and depress the button for the wiper fluid; if you hear a humming sound the pump is working. If it's frozen, replace the fluid with a good low temperature version.

Yes.

I can't help you with the washer part of your question but I can help you with the wiper blade part:

The 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan has the most common hook-end wiper arms on front and rear. See sources and related links below for installation videos. Also, purchase the replacement blades first and there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement packages. Locate and press the tab or button where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook of the wiper arm and pull wiper blade out of hook. You may have to rotate and flex the blade to make enough clearance for the hook to pass through.

If your wipers work just fine on "intermittent" (they sweep across the windshield and return to the bottom of the windshield then wait about 5 seconds until the next sweep and repeat) but when you turn them to the "Off position then they stop in the up position rather then park then the parking pawl probably has a broken spring and is not working correctly. The pawl is a 1.25" long piece of metal external to the motor and is part of the Stack-O-Plates on the output shaft of the motor and to which the wiper push rods are attached. When you turn the wipers to "Off" the motor will reverse direction and the pawl will catch on a stationary tab that is part of the motor/wiper frame. This will hold the wipers in the down position while the motor continues to run and allow the parking Stack-O-Plates-Spring-Wrapped gizmo to do its magic which drags the wiper arms down into the extra low "parked" position. If the tiny spring that holds the pawl in the out position breaks then the pawl will not engage the stationary tab. The wipers will then continue swinging upward through half a swing at which point a cam/switch that is internal to the pulse board (the cover on the motor output gear (three T20 Torx screws to remove) will tell the motor to stop because it thinks the parking Stack-O-Plates gizmo has finished doing its job but instead the wiper arms will be stuck in the "Hello, I'm a dork" raised flag position.

WARNING: Use caution while working around the wiper mechanism. If the key is on and the wiper lever is set to "Intermediate" then the motor can start unexpectedly. If your fingers are down there in the wrong place, the mechanism has more than enough power to break bones and/or peal the skin right off of them. Don't be afraid, just be deliberate and methodical and always be aware if the motor/electronics are energized.

It is very easy to remove the motor/wiper assembly so do not hesitate to do so:

Remove the plastic covers off the wiper arm retaining nuts.

Remove the wiper arm nuts with a 13mm socket.

Twist and pull with your finger tips and finger nails at the base of the small rubber squirt tubing off the hard plastic squirt delivery tubes.

You may have to yard up and down on the wiper arms pretty hard to get them loose from their tapered shafts. Don't be a mindless gorilla but be brave and keep at it. They will come loose.

Remove the cowl cover by pulling or prying out the center of the six retaining push pins. Then lift the cowl cover up then out at a 45 degree angle. You will find the cover is a very tight fit between the right hand wiper shaft and the weatherstrip at the base of the windshield. Be brave and keep pulling and prying until it comes loose.

Reinstalling the cowl cover and getting the rubber weather strip over the cover is the hardest part of the whole job. Use putty knifes (slowly and carefully!) or a very small slender screwdriver. It took me half an hour just to do this part of the job that. ugh.

Remove the 3 bolts holding the wiper assembly.

Disconnect the electrical connector by squeezing the retaining tab that you cant see on the backside of the connector. You have to squeeze real hard.

Lift the wiper assembly out.

Remove the Stack-O-Plates assembly from the motor output shaft (T30 Torx) to access the pawl to put on a spring. I wrapped one and a half loops of spring around one protrusion on the end of the pawl and around one tab of the stationary clip that limits the swing of the pawl to hold it in the "swung out" position. The loop of spring applies very light pressure but that is all it needs. This will all make sense when you are looking at the pawl mechanism. I cut off one and a half loops from a spring like what you would find in a retractable ball point pen but bigger. Use what spring you can find even if it from a ball point pen. When the motor runs in the forward direction the pawl harmlessly swings out of the way as it passes by the stationary tab. Bend the stationary tab in or out as necessary so the pawl engages straight on to it. I will try and post pictures of all this.

Before remounting the whole Stack-O-Plates gizmo assembly you will need to set the motor into the correctly timed position. Plug the motor in, then turn the wipers to "Intermediate". When the motor stops then turn off the ignition switch or quickly disconnect the motor. The motor is now in the correct position. Remount the Stack-O-Plates so there is about 1/4" to 1" space between the pawl and the stationary tab. Tighten down the T30 Torx bolt (blue lock tight recommended) then test the unit to see if the pawl engages to the stationary tab and lets the parking Stack-O-Plates do all its parking gyrations before you remount the whole wiper assembly. When you are all done try not to wear out the wipers by constantly turning them on and off for the next few hours of driving just so you can marvel at your handy work. :O)

Buy the way, if you turn the wipers off and they just wiggle a little bit while the motor goes click-click-click-click trying to do its parking thing then you need to alter (slightly) the relationship between the cam/switch arm inside the pulse module (again, the cover on the motor output gear, three T20 Torx screws to remove). There are two switch/contact arms in the center of the pulse board. The one closest to the board that engages the plastic cam mounted to the board is the one you want to change slightly. The other free floating arm is driven by the cam on the big motor output gear and is the contact to let the electronics know the output gear has rotated half a turn and the wipers are now parked. I bent the one arm closest to the pulse board away from its cam just slightly so that only about 3/4 of the "hook" on the end of the arm (you will know what I mean when you look at it) is hitting the ramp on the cam (the cam spins clockwise). Verify that the electrical contact actually opens a bit when the arm is riding on the high part of the cam. You may have to adjust and verify a number of times to find that sweet spot where it runs reliably. It took me half an hour of fiddling. O_0

The 1994 Ford F350 van wiper blade sizes are 18" wiper blades on both sides front. See sources and related links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments, do not buy wipers just by length only - be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.

The 1998 Dodge Neon has hook-end wiper arm attachments. See related link below for video, however there is usually a button or tab that you press where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook. Pull wiper blade out of hook. Sometimes you need to rotate and flex blade to make enough clearance.

I do not see a rear wiper listed in the aftermarket application guides for 2005 or newer so if you're asking about one of those years, it appears to have a special kia wiper and you'll have to ask your dealer when you purchase the replacement since you'll have to go there for the wiper.

The 1995-2002 Kia Sportage has the most common hook-end wiper arms on front and back however. See sources and related links below for installation videos. Also, purchase the replacement blades first and there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement packages. Locate and press the tab or button where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook of the wiper arm and pull wiper blade out of hook. You may have to rotate and flex the blade to make enough clearance for the hook to pass through.

In the same reservoir as for the front. If you are not getting fluid to the back window, the rear pump may need replacing. The pump for the rear is high on the tank so keep it full and that may be your answer.

how to change the windshield wiper motor in a 2000 jeep wrangler

The ignition switch is on the lower part of your steering column. Not very easy to get to but you can lower the steering column to get a better look at it. there should be 2 switches down there that have bars running to them. one is the headlight brights switch, you should be able to click the brights and see what switch you need to replace. there are 2 screws that hold the brights switch in place. you need to remove that switch first, then there are 2 more for the ignition switch. After that you just turn the switch on the bar to get it to remove. , its not a hard job to do just hard to get to. Good luck

wiper arbor shaft or wiper support shaft

24" drivers side and 19" passenger side. Be sure to lookup the exact part numbers for the brand of wiper you purchase to not only get the correct lengths, but to ensure the correct attachments. See related link below.

they make you buy the entire linkage assembly. No one makes a bushing kit for it. You can break out the existing remaining plastic bushing and replace with a rubber grommet from ACE Hardware used for electrical wires and it works perfect. The grommet will be about the size of a nickel Lube with lithium grease and you will be set email me at et12second@aol.com if you need any more information

It's a solution.

* in my experience i have found that the wiper motor cover is the problem, you may check your local mercury dealer there was a recall for this. you may also check the wiring I have seen wiring that has been eaten through by mice or other varments. * I took it to the Ford dealer for a dionostic test...$75!!! Turns out the windshield wiper motor had a short in it...Cost me $55 to replace it myself. But,on another note, we did find mice in the engine compartment earlier in the spring! So maybe they caused it!

The 2003 Jaguar X-Type has the most common hook-end wiper arms. See sources and related links below for installation videos. Also, purchase the replacement blades first and there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement packages. Locate and press the tab or button where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook of the wiper arm and pull wiper blade out of hook.
