Question:
when i turn off my wipers, the blades stop where they are, rather than returning to the rest position. Also, when I try to clean the windsheild, no wiper fluid comes out. I know I am probably out of wiper fluid, but could that be the cause of the sticky blades as well?
Answers:
How do I know if I have the right dipstick for my engine? I get a high oil level reading.?
This is dependant on the year, make and model of your vehicle, most vehicles up to about 25 years old have an auto park feature in the wiper motor, typically this feature fails because there is a failure on the circuit board, usally caused by overheating. This is very common on GM vehicles and somewhat less on Chrysler products. There can be many causes of failure and too hard to diagnose on line. Sorry and good luck.If the blades are new, that could be why they are sticky. Otherwise the only other reason the blades should stick, is if you uses them on a dry windscreen. But if no wiper fluid comes out, then you're out of wiper fluid.
Can a car battery die when you are driving?
You have lost the ground connection to the wiper motor. Open your hood and locate the motor. If you are not sure, turn the ignition on but don't start the engine. Turn the wipers on and find the part that is running, that's the wiper motor. Attached to the motor, there should be a black wire held on by a screw on the body of the motor, with the other end attached to the metal part of the car. This wire could also be a strip of copper about 1/4 inch wide. Take off the ground, clean it and reinstall. When you lose the ground, the wiper park, which is responsible for bringing the wipers down when shut off, does not work.More Questions & Answers ...
