Ha. good luck with this job. It is NOT fun. Ive done it myself. You have to pull off that black plastic piece that goes across bottom of windshield and at the back of hood. The motor is back in the corner, on the driver side of car. Its not easy to do. Be prepared for a long job, probably some cut hands. You`ll have to have fairly small hands to really get a hold of this job.
If the windshield wipers are not working in a 1998 Ford F150, the cause could be a blown fuse. There could also be a problem with the vacuum hoses connected to the wiper motor or the wiper motor itself.
A bad fuse may be the cause of windshield wipers not working on a 1998 Lumina. The switch that activates the wiper motor is another possible cause for the wipers not working.
NO, IF YOUR CAR STARTS, IT'S NOT THE MOTOR. MAYBE TRY THE FUSE.
There are several things that can cause your windshield wipers not to work. The most common cause is a malfunctioning windshield wiper motor.
the fuse box in under the hood on the drivers side up close to the windshield
replace the pulse board on wiper motor which is a black cover
It's located right on the windshield reservoir...
There is no "reset" in the wiper motor. If your wipers do not park, it is likely your wiper motor parking contact or cam is broken. Try running the wipers with the key in the "ON" position, then turn the wipers off using their switch while they are up on the windshield. They should park themselves at the bottom. The good news is a wiper motor is pretty cheap at a junkyard, and not too hard to replace.
Your wiper arms that run from the wiper motor to the windshield wipers may be binding and need to be replaced
Did you try moving the wipers arms a notch or two so when they start they are not at the bottom of the windshield but rather an inch or so above the bottom edge of the windshield to make them sweep farther to the outside?
I had the same thing on my 2000 Crown Vic PI and it was the motor.
I have the same exact problem , i have a 1998 tiburon and the wipers are not moving.. i think it might be the wiper motor, I will buy one and see if that's the issue
