Why is the wiper of GL8 not moving?

GL8 wiper not moving due to circuit short. Below is an introduction about Buick:1. Introduction: As a top-tier MPV model, the Buick GL8 has achieved batch exports with its advantages of luxurious style, powerful performance, and spacious comfort.2. Significance: Praised by Southeast Asian media as the 'perfect MPV'. It has also served as the courtesy vehicle for major international events such as Beijing's Olympic bid and APEC meetings, with guests including Bill Gates, Yo-Yo Ma, and Luciano Pavarotti.3. Impact: The 8-seat theater type and luxury theater type were the first in China's mid-to-high-end car market to feature an original factory-installed audio-visual system capable of playing CDs, VCDs, and MP3s. Based on Buick's unique silent cabin technology, it creates the effect of Buick's 'mobile audio-visual world', pushing the luxurious experience represented by the 'land business class' to the extreme.

I've been driving the GL8 for a while, and the wipers not working is quite annoying. It's most likely a blown fuse or a problem with the wiper motor. Last time I parked my car outdoors overnight, I found the wipers stuck in the morning. After some troubleshooting, I discovered the fuse had melted, and replacing it solved the issue. It could also be due to rusted wiper linkage jamming or poor switch contact, especially prone to oxidation in humid weather. If you're handling it yourself, first check the owner's manual for the fuse location, pull it out to see if it's blackened or broken; if it's damaged, replace it with the same model. If that doesn't work, you'll need to inspect the motor and linkage—never force the switch, as it could burn out more components. Safety first, don't drive in the rain to seek professional repairs; the cost isn't high, but timely action is key. Regularly avoid dry wiping or prolonged parking under direct sunlight, and clean the wiper groove monthly to extend its lifespan. This experience taught me the importance of regularly checking small components; otherwise, you'll be caught off guard by sudden issues.

From my experience as a seasoned driver, when the GL8's wipers stop working, common causes include a blown fuse, wiper motor failure, or linkage system issues. For example, once during heavy rain, my car's wipers got stuck. Initial checks revealed a blown fuse, but even after replacing it, the wipers still didn't work. Later, the mechanic found that the motor bearings had rusted, causing the motor to seize. It could also be a control module malfunction (for models with automatic wipers) or a relay short circuit.

Recommendations: First, check the manual to locate and inspect the fuse, replacing it if necessary. If that doesn't work, test the voltage to see if the switch is outputting power. For complex electrical issues, don't force it—take the car directly to a 4S shop or repair shop. Preventive measures include inspecting the wiper system before the rainy season and cleaning the pivot points during car washes to reduce rust.

Remember, driving with malfunctioning wipers is dangerous, especially on highways. Immediately turn on the hazard lights, pull over, and seek help. I always remind my family not to overlook these minor issues—spending money on repairs is always better than risking an accident.

I've encountered a situation where the GL8's wipers suddenly stopped working, usually caused by a blown fuse or a damaged wiper motor. For example, last week while driving in the rain, the wipers wouldn't move. In a panic, I stopped to check and found the fuse had blown. Replacing it with a new one fixed the issue. It could also be due to oxidized switch contacts or a stuck linkage. Self-check steps: Locate the fuse box inside the car, pull out the wiper fuse to inspect; if it's broken, replace it with a spare. If the problem persists, take it to a professional repair shop as soon as possible to avoid forcing the operation. When using the wipers normally, avoid starting them on dry glass to reduce the risk of failure.
