What to Do When Car Wipers Don't Reset?

If the car wipers do not reset, you can follow these steps to troubleshoot: 1. Prepare the necessary tools and materials: lubricating oil, screwdriver, wrench, wiper working principle and analysis of non-reset situation. 2. Check if the wiper is stuck or has an open circuit. After confirming that the motor is functioning properly, the next step is to check other potential issues besides the motor, such as whether the wiper has an open circuit or is stuck, which are relatively simple tasks. 3. Check if the hardware lacks lubrication, causing excessive friction. If none of the above situations occur, examine whether insufficient lubrication of the hardware leads to excessive friction, preventing the spring from automatically returning to its original position, and then apply lubricating oil to the surface of the card.
