Wipers on the fritz

[Squirrelsmith]

This morning my wipers would only come on if i turned them to full speed. Also the windshield spray and wipe function was not working.
Think I need a new wiper motor?????

Maybe the turn signal switch has broken

That could explain why 2 things arent working?

Usually it’s the circuit board on the wiper motor that causes the wipers to flake out. Pull the cover and look for any cracked solder on the board. Reheat/resolder any that are defective.

Since it’s free, I’d look at that first.

Agreed.

As mentioned, the circuit board on the motor assembly is a common failure point due to cracked solder joints. The multi-function switch is also a possibility. +1 on checking the circuit board first. Couldn't hurt to re-flow the solder joints just to be sure since you'll already have it opened.

This old thread covers it nicely:

I swapped out the motor with one from 1aauto, the part was $70 i think. All the functiins are back. Dont be afraid to do it they have a video on youtube, nothing to it.

Autozone sells the circuit board for around $25, exact replacement. Just did mine, pretty easy.
