Windshield Wiper stop return to vertical position instead of horizontal?
Q. I have a 1985 S-10 Blazer, I bought a windshield wiper motor to replace the old bad one. This one, everything works fine except when switched off, the wiper return to vertical instead of horizontal. Since there are only 4 wires into the unit, is there a way to correct this problem by just cut and rewire the external wires?

How do I go about getting a new windshield wiper motor?
Q. We had a really severe storm with blinding rain. I believe my windshield wiper motor is not good anymore. It has 3 speed levels. The third speed seems just as slow moving like the 2nd speed for the windshield wipers. How do I go about getting a new windshield wiper motor???

A. Go to either Auto Zone, or any car repair place,Auto zone is good because they will test your wipers, and tell you if you need a new motor, and if you do, they very well may have one in their store, and probably would put it on for you!For a small charge!Its better to get it checked by someone who knows what they are doing first, before you spend out that kind of money for another one, when maybe all you need is the wires just came loose from the storm.

How do pine straw and leaves get underneath windshield wiper blades?
Q. My windshield wipers are in good condition, don't leave any streaks, no gaps between the blades and the windshield. So why on earth is that every time I get in my car there is either pine straw, twigs, or leaves under my windshield wiper blades?
Asked by Laiyla - Sun Dec 6 14:03:36 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You're under a tree? More precisely, you're in a location where there's enough wind to lift the blade slightly - which is enough wind to blow something under it.

What type of windshield wiper blades does a 2005 Chevy Cobalt use and where can I buy them?
Q. I bought a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt in that year, and I have not changed the wiper blades since. The blades seem to be wearing out (i.e. - They frequently fail to get about 15% of the water off of the areas they traverse), and I want to replace them. I don't know anything about windshield wiper blades. First of all, what type of blade does my car use? What is its designation? Secondly, from which stores can I cheaply buy decent brand replacements? Thanks.

A. The factory uses a special type of wiper blade on the cobalt cars.You do not need to replace the wiper blade unless its bent.You should stop by your local chevy dealers service dept.They can replace the wiper insert (rubber part) of the wiper blade and it will work like new again.This will also cost less than replaceing the wiper blade with a aftermarket blade that will not work as well or clean as well.Best of luck.

My windshield wiper blade wont run anymore, is there an easy way to verify/ fix it?
Q. I jumped in my car, there was a layer of snow (and unfortunately Ice) on my drivers side windshield. I turned on the wipers to get rid of it and only one blade (the Passengers side) turned. Since then the drivers side wiper blade doesnt work. How do I check the gear that turns the wiper blade? And Can I fix it myself?
Asked by Amy K - Sat Mar 1 13:26:52 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Your wiper's arms are both connected to the motor via a set of arms that cause both wipers to move in a synchronized fashion. There are two likely spots where you most likely damaged your wiper by trying to push it through the snow. The first spot is where that arm connects to the individual wiper, usually hidden by a piece of plastic that screws down between your wipers. The next place is on the post where your wiper arm/blade itself attaches, on the outside of the car. Just about every car is different in how your blade attaches, but you should be able to figure it out pretty easily. Remove the entire arm and examine the post that it sits on. If you see lots of metal shavings, then thats your problem. Those shavings are supposed… [cont.]

A. one of the wiper blades has frozen to the windshield and striped the wiper arm causing it to get out of time with the other. turn the wipers off and let them park in the off position then take the one that is not down off position and move it down to where it should be and tighten the mounting nut to lock it in place.

A. It could help to know the type of thermostat you have. I have never heard of a "wiper" in a thermostat but that doesn't mean there isn't something of that description in some of them. All thermostats work basically in the same manner... there's a sensor of some type that senses the ambient air temp, when it drops a certain number of degrees below the preset temp the unit sends a command to the furnace to come on. After the furnace heats up, the blower is tripped by a heat sensor in the furnace and operates until the ambient air temp reaches the preset limit. The unit then sends the command to the furnace to shut down. The blower continues to run until the temp in the furnace reaches the cut-off point then it shuts down. The sensors in… [cont.]

How can I remove a lock washer from a wiper post?
Q. Wiper blade assembly has been secured to one of my wiper blade posts by a lock washer. Washer has been inserted into the grove on the wiper blade post. I can not get a dremel into position to where I can cut the washer. I have tried to use a thin screwdriver with no results. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!!!
Asked by surewinder32 - Sat Jul 19 17:42:14 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Most wiper blade arms are secured by a nut or a sliding lever lock device that is part of the arm itself. The lever device usually requires the arm to be pulled up past a certain position to allow the latch to slide over to release the arm. If what you see is not that, but looks like a star washer with widely spaced square fingers holding onto the shaft, possibly in a slot, then those are actually one way clips and not washers that are used to hold onto shafts and are just pressed on. Try prying up the fingers one at a time until it loosens enough to come off, then re-flatten the clip to reuse it when you're ready. You can probably find replacements at a hardware or auto parts store or at a car dealer's parts counter. Best of luck.

Q. Wiper blade assembly has been secured to one of my wiper blade posts by a lock washer. Washer has been inserted into the grove on the wiper blade post. I can not get a dremel into position to where I can cut the washer. I have tried to use a thin screwdriver with no results. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!!!

A. Most wiper blade arms are secured by a nut or a sliding lever lock device that is part of the arm itself. The lever device usually requires the arm to be pulled up past a certain position to allow the latch to slide over to release the arm. If what you see is not that, but looks like a star washer with widely spaced square fingers holding onto the shaft, possibly in a slot, then those are actually one way clips and not washers that are used to hold onto shafts and are just pressed on. Try prying up the fingers one at a time until it loosens enough to come off, then re-flatten the clip to reuse it when you're ready. You can probably find replacements at a hardware or auto parts store or at a car dealer's parts counter. Best of luck.

A. The fuse you are looking for is to the left of the steering wheel, behind an access panel. The interior fuse box , fuse #15 is for the rear wiper, it should be a ten amp fuse. When looking at the front of the fuse panel, it will be the second fuse from the bottom on the right side row of fuses.

A. That's the wiper arm. Get a little bottle of touch up paint from your auto supply store. Clean the arm well before applying.
