How to Determine if the Wiper Motor is Damaged?

[SanEthan]

To determine if the wiper motor is damaged, you can observe the following: 1. First, turn the car's ignition switch to the power-on state, then try to open the front hood and activate the wipers. If it's not damaged, you should hear the sound of the motor turning, and the sound is quite noticeable. 2. If there is no sound and a slight burning smell accompanies it, it is likely that the motor is damaged and needs to be checked and repaired at an auto repair shop. The wiper not working is often because the vehicle's circuit system prevents circuit overload, leading to the wiper fuse blowing. Therefore, before determining whether the motor is damaged, you should check the fuse (refer to the manual for details). If it is indeed blown, simply replace it, but remember to turn off all the car's power before replacement.
