What to Do When the Wiper is Broken?

Nowadays, the engine compartment layout of many cars has been modularized, and the fuse box in the engine compartment is generally located on the driver's side. Open the fuse box, and there is a diagram inside indicating the electronic device each fuse is responsible for. Just match the diagram with the fuse to find the corresponding position.
I'm always afraid of the wipers failing while driving, especially in heavy rain when visibility is zero. Last time this happened, I quickly pulled over, turned on the hazard lights, and checked if the wiper blades were stuck to the windshield or if the rubber was cracked. If they're just worn out, you can simply buy new blades at an auto parts store and replace them—it only costs a few dozen bucks. Checking the fuse is also crucial; look for the wiper fuse in the small box under the steering wheel and replace it if it's blown. If that doesn't work, you'll have to take it to a repair shop to check for motor or linkage issues. Remember, regularly replacing wiper blades can prevent this—I recommend changing them every six months or 10,000 kilometers to ensure safer driving. Don't wait until it becomes a major problem to act.
