2004 buick century, windshield wiper motor
hello everyone, i have a 2004 buick century..the windshield wipers just stopped in the 12 o-clock position,there was some snow and ice on the window at the time..i was able to move the wipers down by hand but now they only move about 3" when turned on..i suspect either the motor or transmission went bad,how do i determine the problem? could the motor be bad even though the wipers still move back and forth about 3 inches? what would the symptoms be of a bad transmission? thanks

Re: 2004 buick century, windshield wiper motor
Only way to tell is to get down into the linkage look for something binding or loose/damaged.

Re: 2004 buick century, windshield wiper motor
Do you hear the motor running when turned on? If yes, then one of the linkages has popped off.......

Re: 2004 buick century, windshield wiper motor
One might, if off the motor, no. Ice may have caused the wipers to stick to the w/s causing damage.

Re: 2004 buick century, windshield wiper motor
You will have to pull the whole wiper arm off each side....then you have to remove the plastic cowl under the wiper arms, to get to the transmission and motor......with the cowl off, run the motor and look for what is causing the problem....
