windshield wiper problem
I have a 94 accord, the wipers went out suddenly. I think its a mechanical
failure, but how can I be sure? How is it repaired? I can switch the wipers on and hear the motor hum, but no action. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |
Re: windshield wiper problem
Could just be that the wiper linkage (transmission) is stuck. If you're
inclined mechanically, take the wiper arms off the knurled knob at the cowl. If they still don't rotate, you will have to take some of the trim off at the heater intake that covers the linkage, or unbolt the wiper motor from the firewall. Disconnect the motor from the linkage, then you can then see what isn't working. bob jack rabbit wrote: > > I have a 94 accord, the wipers went out suddenly.

I suggest that you visit a large junk yard and buy a new motor. If they don't have one in stock--they should be able to order one from another junk dealer on their computer network. If you don't know how to remove the old one and replace it with one that works--you should take it to a Honda Dealership and pay lots of money to have them install a new motor. You might have a friend do it for you. |

Re: windshield wiper problem
Do you have the correct length of wiper blades installed? I believe it should be 19" (driver) and 16" passenger. "alot is not a word" Uncle Mike |

Re: windshield wiper problem
How would that make a difference? Im curious, would the wrong size affect
the motor? I guess that makes sense, in a way. Oh, thanks for all the input so far. Much appreciated.
