How to Repair a Non-Working Auman Windshield Wiper?

Check and replace any faulty hardware components such as the fuse, wiper switch, wiper motor, or wiper interval relay. Seek professional inspection and repair services from a 4S dealership.
I've been repairing vehicles for over a decade, and wiper issues with Auman trucks are quite common. When the wipers stop working, first check if the fuse is blown—it's located in the fuse box next to the driver's seat. Find the wiper's labeled fuse, pull it out, and inspect it. If the fuse is fine, the problem might be a stuck or faulty wiper motor. Try applying some lubricant to the wiper linkage to loosen it up. Another possibility is a loose connection at the control switch—use a wrench to tighten the plug. In winter, wipers can freeze; use warm water to thaw them slowly instead of forcing them. Remember to regularly check if the wiper blades are worn or cracked, as this affects their performance. If you can't fix it yourself, head to a repair shop immediately—driving with poor visibility in the rain is too dangerous.
Last time my car's wipers stopped working, I immediately checked the fuse location under the hood and fixed it quickly in that box. First disconnect the battery negative terminal for safety, then test if the wiper motor is getting power properly using a multimeter - very convenient. If you hear the motor running but the wiper arm doesn't move, it's probably the linkage rusted and stuck - just apply some WD-40 lubricant. If the switch is broken, it's easy to replace too; just remove the panel and check if the button contacts are dirty. In rainy weather as a temporary solution, you can use the washer fluid to clean the windshield and drive a bit further to find a repair shop. Don't forget to maintain your wipers before rainy season to extend their lifespan and save trouble.
