Prius (2004-09) :: Windshield Wipers Won't Turn On

My front windshield wipers seem to have gone kaput. I went to clean the windshield yesterday, and while the fluid shot out freely, the wipers didn't move. I tried intermittent, frequent, etc, and nothing got them to move. The back wiper works fine. I restarted the car, checked to make sure that nothing was blocking movement, and still no movement.

Which fuse controls the wipers? Before I head to the dealer (it's been 5 weeks since my last visit), I'd like to see if a blown fuse is the cause of the problem.

Volvo :: 1995 960 Wagon - Windshield Wipers Will Not Turn Off

I thought my problem of non stop wiper motor was either relay or switch. I found a good working switch and that did not cure the problem. I have yet to find any relay that would control the power to this circuit. There has to be one ...right? If so, where might it be on this 1995 960 Wagon. All of the wiper features work except for "off". Speed controls work, rear works, washer works, etc.

Buick - Lesabre :: Windshield Wipers Turn On When Switch Is Off

My Buick LeSabre, 2000 model, has had the wiper motor replaced 3 times in an attempt to solve this problem. The multi-switch has also been replaced. The rain sensor on the windshield was disconnected after the 3 motors were put in just to eliminate a potential cause. It is plugged back in now.The problem is intermittent as well. When you are driving, the wipers engage and nothing will stop them.The car has a little less than 80,000 miles on it.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Headlights / Windshield Wipers And Turn Signals Not Turning On Or Work

Got in the car this morning and my headlights,windshield wipers, and turn signals would all not turn on or work.

I'm not sure if the this is a problem with the stalks on the steering column or possibly a relay.

When i pull the left stalk my high beams will come on but only when i do that.

The windshield wipers would not turn on at all and the windshield wash would not even spray as well.

I also noticed that my AC/Heat controls wouldnt respond either. Any clue as to what it might be.

GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Headlights / Windshield Wipers / Turn Signals / AC Fans Shut Off In Rain?

X2 nights ago at 11:45pm I was driving home from a friends house with my gf and were going about 65 on the highway and it's lightly raining, then all of a sudden my headlights, windsheld wipers, turnsignals, my ac/fans all just shut off so I had to pull over right away. After sitting there for about 15 mintues I figure out my high beams still work but only if I hold them on(clicking it on doesn't work. So I drive home and the next day check all the fuses in the drivers door and they r all fine. Everything else works in the car but the stuff stated above. My car was reposesd about a year ago when I lost my job and they put this thing I have to enter a code every month, it messed my windsheld wipers and turn signals up before but not anything else! But it still works and the other stuff doesn't, and behind the dash it sounded like crackling and smelt like burning electric right before it shut off.

It's an oem windshield...

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Windshield Wipers Won't Go All The Way Down

This is on a 2006 GS3. I don't know if this is how it's always been, but after I picked up the car from service at the lex dealer yesterday i especially noticed that the windshield wipers don't go all the way down when they are off or at the "bottom" of the wipe motion. especially the one on the passenger side - when the wipers are idle it's sitting maybe 3" above its base if you understand what i am trying to say. Is this normal? or is it just now i am noticing this. it's not really in the way to impede my vision but i just find it odd.

Scratches From Windshield Wipers On Driver Side

I failed my vehicle inspection today because I have scratches left over from some old windshield wipers on the driver's side. I didn't own the car when this happened. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a new windshield, and the scratches aren't that deep at all (I ran my finger over the entirety of the scratch and barely felt it). I'm scared to go to any windshield repair shops because I feel like they'll lie and tell me the only choice is to replace my windshield (which I can't afford). I attached some pictures. I was thinking maybe a buffer or some type of gel?

Accent MC (2006-11) :: Windshield Wipers Don't Work At All

Windshield wipers don't work at all. Not even a little bit.

I first had a problem in the summer. The wipers stopped working for a day or two and then started working fine again. Now, they don't work at all. The fuse is fine (and was replaced even though it was fine). It isn't the switch as that has been replaced. It isn't the motor/wiper arms as that has been replaced. I don't see any damaged wires or anything.

I am hoping I am missing something really simple.
