Windshield wipers not moving can be caused by: 1. Fuse blown; 2. Motor burned out. Solutions are: 1. Simply replace the fuse; 2. Turn the car's ignition switch to the on position, then try to open the front hood and activate the wipers. If there's no sound and a burnt smell is present, it indicates motor damage, requiring professional repair at a specialized shop. Windshield wipers are important accessories installed on the windshield, designed to clear rain, snow, and dust that obstruct visibility. Thus, they play a crucial role in driving safety. Wipers generally come in types such as vacuum wipers, electric wipers, and wipers with electronic control units.
