What Causes the Windshield Wiper to Spray Water Without Moving?

[OLayla]

The following are the reasons why the windshield wiper sprays water but does not move: 1. Check the wiring and motor: Inspect whether the wiring is loose or if the motor is damaged. Turn off the engine, open the hood, and activate the spray switch. If you hear the motor working, it indicates the motor is fine; otherwise, the issue could be loose wiring or a damaged motor. 2. Check the fuse and spray nozzles: Inspect the fuse in the wiring. Check if the spray nozzles are clogged. You can use a thin metal wire to unclog them, but be careful not to break it inside. 3. Pay attention to cleaning: Check if there are any substances or residues on the wiper blades—clean them and then test again. Also, look for tree sap, insect residue, etc., on the windshield; clean it thoroughly and try again.
