Where is the wiper node located?

The wiper node is located at the connection point between the wiper and the car hood. The washer nozzle is generally near the left or right fender of the front hood. Below is extended information about wipers: 1. The technical name for a wiper is Windshield Wiper, a blade structure installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, wiper blade assembly, etc. Its main function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstructs the view; 2. To ensure good visibility, wipers typically need to be replaced every six months to a year, while high-quality brands can last longer; 3. The car washer is used to clean the front windshield. If it fails to spray water properly, it may be due to a lack of water in the tank, a problem with the water pump, or a blown fuse.
The wiper pivot point, simply put, is the crucial rotating axis where the wiper arm connects to the vehicle body. It's typically located at the very bottom of the windshield, near the edge of the hood. I often check my own car, and the pivot point is right below the driver's side of the windshield—lifting the hood reveals it clearly. It functions like a door hinge, allowing the wiper arm to swing flexibly. If the pivot point is misaligned or loose, the wiper may wobble and fail to adhere properly to the glass, resulting in poor wiping performance and potential wear on the wiper blade rubber. During routine maintenance, I regularly apply a bit of lubricant to the pivot point to prevent rust or seizing, especially before rainy or snowy seasons for added safety. The exact location varies slightly between car models, but it's generally in an easily accessible area beneath the windshield. Always refer to your owner's manual to confirm the specific spot.
