Wipers not working

Hello all. Its about 14 degrees up here in NJ right now and it's snowing. Supprisingly when I entered into my car, my wipers did not work. I checked the fuse and it was blown so I changed it. (15amp) After that, the washer fluid started to work, but the wipers do not come on. Can anyone help me out. I think that it is the harness on the right side of the steering wheel that's the problem. I removed it to install my alarm system and since then it's been kina loose. Can someone help me.

Thanks
Scott

ive had the problem have having my wipers freeze into place, and the excesseive use of the wiper turn on button caused the fuse to pop, clear the area around your wipers of snow and shit, and try to move them a slight amount, then try to use them normally.

hey crxlvr. I tried that but that did not work. I don't know what the problem is. All I did was remove the harness. I didnt splice it or anything. I just removed it and then put it back in. The washer fluid still squirts but the wipers dont come on. If you live in the east coast, then youll see the news. Looks like another blizzard. Well, I'll be stuck here tonight.

yeah im from NY, but i only heard 3-6" nothing major.

as far as the wipers go, make sure maybe you didnt reverse the connectors, and make sure its grounded good, mabye that came out.

Cool. I'm from Cali, so 3-6 is kinda deep for me. =0). Anyways, I didnit know that it can be inserted backwards! It seems to fit right in there perfectly. Do you know the colors of the wires. How would I know if it is grounded correctly?

Thanks

umm it could be your wiper motors, if uve tried to turn ur wipers on when their frozen, u can strip the motor, can u hear them running?

motorS? So there is one for each wiper? Haa, if one of mine ever broke, I would just roll with one, so if the drivers side broke, I would mob the uniwiper, and if the pass side broke, that side of the window wouldnt get wiped! :p

or u could do it ghetto style and tie a rope to the wiper and pull it from the inseide whenever you want to wipe:rolleyes: :p

not a bad idea either :cool:

LMAO, while i was in south carolina, i saw some raised redneck ford pickup with that conversion.


and there is only one wiper motor, not two, unless you have a rear wiper.

R you callin my dad a redneck??? Cause thats his truck.
