Wipers just stopped :/ Wiper module?

Postby Diesel » Wed Dec 21, 2011 3:14 pm

So my wipers 100% stopped working. Checked fuse and it's good. Is it the module? Is that the box screwed by 1 screw sorta behind the ash tray and has a large flat wire connector going to it? Repairable or where do I buy a new one?

If you are sure it is the motor this will have no bearing on your problem.
There are plastic clips on the linkage under the cowl which become brittle and break. Haven't experienced this myself but it is appaently a comon problem.

It's not the motor. I think it might be the module. I'm going to try and fix the module unless someone knows where I can buy a new one.

So you're sure it's not those little plastic clips he's talking about?

Only reason I don't think it's the clips is because I don't hear the motor coming on. I'll check again tomorrow and have a closer listen.

I looked at for a module around me and the parts stores didn't have them. I stay away from the dealer like the plague, but i keep my eyes peeled at the junk yards. I just decided i can live with goofy wipers :?

Looks like quite a few 90's molars use this part. I'm going to probably just scour a junkyard to see what I find. Still kinda weird that The wipers won't move at all. Seems like others with relay issues just lost intermittent functions.

Ok now I am thinking I do hear the motor coming on. What is the part number on the plastic clips if you will?

Is it Dorman 118301? "Wiper linkage bushing"

You can walk into nearly any part store that has a HELP! section and they'll have them.

Got the bushings...how many screws underneath the windshield rubber seal? I found one on the passenger side and I think drivers side. Is there one in the middle?

That's all that's by the windshield. The rest are in the engine bay side.

Those bushings need to be installed either dry or with a silicone/graphite spray. Grease or oil will make them rot fast

Dirt and garbage held mine in place hard. I really don't remember any other screws in there.
