How to Repair a Faulty Wiper Motor?
2 Answers
Open the engine hood to check if the transmission linkage is dislocated. Inspect whether the fuse is intact. Disconnect the motor wiring plug, turn on the power, and use a multimeter to measure if there is voltage. If the fuse is intact but there is no voltage at the motor, check the wiring and the turn signal combination switch for any faults.
I just repaired the wiper motor! First, don't panic, put on gloves and check if the fuse is blown after disconnecting the power. If not, it's probably due to a burnt-out motor or stuck gears inside. I opened the engine hood, loosened the fixing bolts with a wrench, unplugged the power cable, replaced it with a spare motor, and tested for smooth operation before finishing. The whole process takes about an hour, and you'll need tools like a screwdriver and pliers. Remember, safety first—don't attempt this in the rain to avoid short circuits. Related tip: Not cleaning the wipers regularly can put extra strain on the motor, causing it to fail sooner. I usually clean mine every six months. Beginners can learn a lot from YouTube tutorials—it saves money and builds knowledge. After the replacement, the wipers work as smoothly as new, ensuring driving safety.
