TLinke1261 says:

My wipers work on HI but not on LOW or Intermittent. would that be a switch
or a motor or fuse problem? On a 2000 Buick LeSaber.

What the problem if only one of your windshield wipers work(passenger
side)? And how should I go about fixing it.

I check what is rong?

Thank you very much.

Antinull says:

the linkage may have separated, find out how the driver side wiper connects
to the motor and hook it back up

RazsterTW says:

So my Wipers stopped working as well, would this also prevent the wiper
fluid sprayer from spraying as well? Thanks

Does the engine have to be on?

Klendathu says:

@66612345678 Usually you need to turn the ignition switch to on, but the
car engine does not need to be running. Notice in the beginning of the
video Nathan said he turned on the ignition switch. If this is how the
wipers ran before they stopped working then yes, the ignition switch need
to be turned on but you don’t necessarily need to crank the engine. You
should be able to operate the car radio too, if the car has a radio.

Joselyn Hendrick says:

did you test your motor? or connectors?

Ian Fermy says:

I’m forced to drive with one wind wiper because the passenger side wiper
(as it wipes to and fro) slowly eases closer and closer to the driver side
wiper (eventually the two collide). Is this a problem with the wiper motor
or with the groves that the wiper arm attaches to?

reddin4343 says:

I don’t think you need to do that. The way you turn on your radio without
the engine. Same way with the wipers. That’s what I think. But it doesn’t
make sense to have the engine on. Even in the video it wasn’t on.

Klendathu says:

@66612345678 And he said he had turned on the wipers. Also note that Nathan
had unplugged the cable to the wiper motor to poke the leads inside the
plug. This would keep the wiper motor from operating. Be careful around the
wiper motor when it is running because it can take off a finger. Also mind
when you are leaning over a running motor that you don’t have anything
dangling down into the motor (tie, jewelery, work ID badge, etc.) that can
snag in the motor.
