4 Signs Of A Bad Windshield Wiper Motor by Godspower35(m): 6:55am On Mar 09, 2019
Common signs include wiper blades that move more slowly than scheduled, have a single speed, do not move at all and do not park in the correct position.

If you can not see the road, it is almost impossible to drive a vehicle safely. The windshield wipers are specially designed to eliminate rain, snow, dirt and other debris from the windshield. Each windshield wiper system is unique to each vehicle, manufactured to obtain maximum efficiency and, in many cases, to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle. If the windshield wiper blades are the arms and hands of your car's cleaning system, the windshield wiper motor would definitely be the heart.

To move through the windshield, the windshield wipers are controlled by the windshield motor. When you turn on the windshield switch on your turn signal or on any other control arm located next to the steering wheel, it sends a signal to the engine and operates the windshield wipers at different speeds and times. When the wiper blades do not move after turning on the switch, this is usually due to a malfunction of the wiper motor.
Although the risk of having a problem with your windshield wiper motor is rare, some warning signs warn you that the wiper motor is damaged or must be replaced.


1.
Windshield wiper blades move slower than scheduled


Modern cars, trucks and SUVs today have programmable wipers that can operate at multiple speeds and with different delivery times. If you turn on the windshield wiper switch at high or high speed and the wiper blades move more slowly than they should, this may be due to a problem with the wiper motor. Sometimes, the mechanical components inside the engine become clogged with debris, dirt or other particles. If this happens, it can affect the speed of the motor. If you encounter this type of problem with your windshield wipers, it is a good idea to contact a qualified mechanic as soon as possible so that you can inspect the windshield wiper motor and other components that may cause this problem.

2.
Windshield wiper blades have only one speed


On the opposite side of the equation, if you turn on the windshield wiper switch and try to change the settings or changes, but the windshield wipers move the same way all the time, this can also be a problem. With the windshield wiper motor. The windshield wiper motor receives a signal from the windshield wiper module, so the problem can also affect the module. When you notice this symptom, before deciding to replace the wiper motor, be sure to work with a qualified mechanic to determine if the problem is related to the motor or module. You will save a lot of money, time and problems by first contacting the mechanic.

3.
Wiper blades do not move


If you have actuated the windshield wiper switch and the brushes do not move at all or if you do not hear the engine running, there is a good chance that the engine is damaged or there is an electrical problem. Sometimes this can be caused by a fuse blowing the wiper motor. However, a fuse will only burn if there is an electrical overload in that particular circuit. In any case, there is a more serious problem that should prompt you to contact a mechanic to diagnose the electrical problem and repair it so that it does not damage the other components of your vehicle.

4.
The wiper blades are not parked in the correct position


When you turn off the wiper blades, they are supposed to move to a "parked" position. Normally, this means that the wiper blades return to the bottom of the windshield and lock. This is not always the case, so you should consult the owner's manual to make sure your car, truck or SUV has this option. However, if you turn off the wiper blades and stay in the same position on the windshield, you are blocking your vision, which is usually an engine problem that often requires replacing the washer motor.

POINTS TO NOTE

The windshield wiper motor is generally not a repaired part. Due to the complexity of the device, most wiper motors are replaced by a qualified mechanic. A new wiper motor can take a long time and, with regular maintenance, you should never have a problem with your cleaning blades.
