Function Of The Wipers

Working windshield wipers are vital for driver visibility. The vehicle is considered unsafe if the wipers don’t work. The front wiper motor and the wiper transmission mechanism (linkage) are installed below the windshield, under the cowl panel cover.

How The Wiper System Works

When you turn the wiper on, the wiper switch sends the signal to the control module. The control module operates the wiper relay. The relay sends 12-volt power to the wiper motor.

If your wipers don’t work, your mechanic or dealer will need to diagnose the problem first, then order the part that has failed. This means there is a chance your car won’t be repaired on the same day. The repair cost depends on the problem. Diagnosing wiper motor problems is not very difficult, please read further.
