Wiper problem on 93 Civic DX HB
At first I had an intermittent problem with my rear wiper, where
sometimes it just wouldn't work. Eventually about a week ago, it quit completely. Yesterday, while driving in a ****ing rain storm, the front wipers quit mid-stride. The fuse had blown, and when I changed it, it blew immediately without even having the wipers on. 3 fuses later I figured it had to be an electrical short. While talking to someone at Partsource about finding a wiper relay (of which their isn't one), it dawned on me that the rear wiper was probably the cause, having only been a week since it stopped working. I took the 2 screws off of the rear wiper motor cover, and could immediately smell the tell-tale burnt electronics smell. I unplugged the motor, put in a new fuse and VOILA! the front wipers work fine now. I don't think I plan on replacing the rear-wiper motor, if CX owners can go without, so can I! I thoguht I should put this into words, maybe it'll help someone who can't figure out why their wipers don't work. |
