How to Fix a Broken Wiper?
2 Answers
The method to fix a broken wiper: Open the fuse box, locate the wiper fuse, pull it out and replace it to continue using. The structure of the wiper is very simple, mainly consisting of a brush and a motor. Wipers are non-durable automotive products and are prone to aging. If the wiper breaks during rainy driving and cannot effectively clean the rainwater on the windshield, you can use the soap method to solve the problem. Apply a layer of soap on the windshield, which can maintain clear visibility for at least 30 to 40 minutes. You can also apply soap on the rear window glass to improve poor rearview conditions.
I've also encountered wiper issues before, and they're actually not difficult to fix. Usually, if the wipers don't move or don't wipe properly, it's due to aging or worn rubber blades. Just replace them with new wiper inserts, which are cheap to buy online—just make sure to match your car model. If the wipers move slowly or make noise, it might be due to excessive motor load. Check if the linkage is rusted or loose, and try adding some lubricant. Additionally, a blown fuse can cause complete failure. Open the hood to locate the fuse box and replace it with a fuse of the same specification—don't be afraid to tinker. Driving in the rain without wipers is dangerous, as it impairs visibility. I always pull over first to check. If the problem is more complex, it's best to visit a repair shop rather than forcing a DIY fix. Regularly replacing wiper inserts and checking the wiring can prevent issues—I inspect my car once a year.
