alright got a 1989 iroc z28 the wipers wouldnt work so i bought a wiper a new wiper motor installed tested and it worked hooked it up to the wipers and the wipers wouldnt move...after a while it turned out the passenger wiper was getting caught on the window...i was working the wipers with my hand to make sure it would move and now it did. so i hooked it back up and they will only move 4 inches. I adjusted the linkage on every possible setting and nothing helped and in some cases made it worse. I dont know whats wrong someone please throw some ideas at me.

 

Bad bushings in the arm?

Check that you are getting correct current to your motors.

 

yes current is good lol got a dumb question how do u get the wiper arms off like i could drop the wiper transmissions if i know how to get those off.

 

dont think theres a transmission per say...

An allen wrench and some leverage i guess.

 

lol no no the arms that move the wipers are called wiper transmission and linkage lol im not stupid...wow that woulda been funny though

 

Haha, I call em wiper arms.


Well for obivous reasons. :P

 

yea but if yah walk into a part store and ask for wiper arms they'll hand you something different :P
