What to Do When the Wiper Stops in the Middle?
1 Answers
The solutions for a wiper stopping in the middle are as follows: 1. Check the wiper blade: If you usually neglect the maintenance of the car's wiper blades and find they are severely damaged and unable to function properly, promptly replace a set of wiper blades. 2. Check the wiper motor: Open the car's hood to see the wiper motor. You can touch the wiper motor by hand. If it feels hot, it indicates an internal short circuit, and the motor should be replaced. 3. Check the wiper linkage: The wiper linkage has many connection points. If these points have issues, the wiper won't work properly. You can observe the wiper's operation to determine if it's a linkage failure. 4. Check the wiper fuse: To protect the car's wiring, each electrical device has a fuse. If the wiper doesn't work, check if the wiper fuse is blown and replace it with a spare fuse from the car. 5. Check the wiper switch: Although the wiper switch isn't used frequently, car electronics can be unstable. If no issues are found in the above checks, consider that the wiper switch might be faulty. Use a multimeter to test the switch or replace it with a new one for testing. 6. Check the wiper wiring: Inspecting the wiring is a complex and time-consuming task. You need to be proficient in using a car multimeter to measure voltage, resistance, and current, and combine this with practical experience to identify the wiring fault causing the wiper to malfunction.
