Windshield Wipers

Thanks for that Lowsuv I actually already have some rain x. Now I just need to use it!

RAIN-X .
Is your friend .
The original kind that you apply to your windshield with a cloth .
I use the common blue paper/cloth shop towels on a roll available everywhere to apply .
I can drive in a heavy downpour without using the wipers as long as I keep the speed above 45 .
The water runs off the windshield .
I see the oncoming drivers with windshield wipers going full speed that have "streaky " windshields that cannot see .
I can use the slowest intermittent setting and see much better .

I know you need to fix your wipers but rain-x will work so well that it will lower the threshold as to how good your wipers are .

Thanks everyone! I will check and try these things and see what I can come up with. I have a volt meter I can check the fuses with.

What chassis? If it is GM then the likely cause is water in the wiper motor. Only cure is replace wiper motor.

see if the its the motor- hook up directly to the battery and see if they work- if they do then I would look for a bad fuse or lose wire.

Did you check the obvious things?
Fuse, wires-disconnected, broken or corroded.

It could be a bad motor or switch.

Does it make any noise when they are turned on? Could the arms be disconnected from the motor?
