Why is the wiper of Besturn B50 not working?

Besturn B50 wiper not working may be due to a blown fuse of the wiper. Repair method for Besturn B50 wiper not working: Some are locked with a convex buckle. Lift the wiper and check with your fingers whether the rubber wiper is damaged after cleaning and whether the rubber blade is elastic; if the blade is aged, hardened, or cracked, then during the test, set the wiper switch to various speed positions to check whether the wiper maintains a certain speed at the same speed, especially in intermittent operation mode. Also, pay attention to whether the wiper maintains a certain speed during movement. Qualification judgment method for wipers: Smooth swing, normal jumping of the wiper, the rubber contact surface cannot fully fit with the glass surface, resulting in wiping residue; after wiping, the glass surface presents a water film state, and the glass produces fine streaks, fog, and linear residue.

The wipers on my Besturn B50 aren't moving. I think we should troubleshoot step by step from common issues. First, check if the fuse is blown. The fuse box is usually under the steering wheel or in the engine compartment. Find the corresponding wiper fuse and try replacing it with a spare one. It could also be a faulty switch - press the button a few times to see if you hear a clicking sound. If the motor is malfunctioning, listen for whether it's running when you activate the wipers - sometimes the bearings get stuck or the internals burn out. The linkage mechanism getting jammed or frozen can also cause this - if wiper arms are blocked by leaves or ice, remove and clean them. The simplest possibility is a dead battery - check if the battery voltage is normal; if it's below 12 volts, charge it or replace the battery first. You can quickly fix minor issues yourself, but if you can't repair it, it's safer to take it to a professional shop.

The reasons for the wiper not moving mainly lie in the electrical and mechanical parts. A blown fuse is the primary suspect; you can locate the wiper section in the Besturn B50's fuse box and replace it. If the switch or relay fails due to oxidized contacts preventing electricity flow, try lightly tapping the switch to see if it resumes operation. A burnt smell or unusual noise usually indicates a faulty motor, while rusted or bent linkage can also cause jamming, especially in dusty environments. Short circuits or broken wires are more troublesome, such as issues with the rain sensor wiring. For self-inspection, use a multimeter to check the fuse and motor voltage to ensure the circuit is functioning properly. Regular maintenance of the wiper arm cleanliness can prevent minor issues from worsening.

It's really frustrating when the windshield wipers don't move, especially during rain which can be dangerous. I suspect the most common issue on the Besturn B50 is a blown fuse—try replacing it yourself. If the switch button doesn't press or respond, the contacts might be damaged. A silent or slow motor sound is a sign of trouble. Weak battery or unstable voltage can also affect startup. If simple checks don't solve it, don't delay—head to the repair shop immediately to avoid sudden accidents. During routine maintenance, clear debris from the glass to reduce the chance of linkage jamming.
