What to Do When the Wiper Doesn't Reset?
1 Answers
If the wiper cannot automatically reset, it may be due to aging wiper blades or dust and other debris stuck between the blades and the windshield, obstructing the wiper's reset. You can clean the wiper blades and windshield with a damp cloth, and replace the wiper or blades if necessary. It could also be caused by wiring issues, motor failure, or wiper switch malfunction, in which case it is recommended to visit an auto repair shop. Below are some maintenance tips for wipers: 1. Avoid oil contamination: If oil stains get on the windshield or wipers, they won't clean rainwater effectively. Although wipers rest on the windshield, they are often overlooked during routine maintenance. If you notice oil stains on the glass, use a glass cleaner to wipe the wiper blades and windshield when washing the car. 2. Keep in the lowest position when not in use: When not in use, the wipers should be placed in the lowest position, and the lower part of the windshield should be cleaned regularly to prevent debris from causing long-term pressure and deformation of the wiper blades. 3. Don't forget the wiper blades when washing the car: Although wipers rest on the windshield, they are often neglected during maintenance until problems arise during use. Maintaining wiper blades is actually very simple. Every time you wash the car, in addition to cleaning the windows, it's best to wipe the wiper blades with a glass cleaner to extend their lifespan.
