Anyone here because they didn’t clear the snow off the bottom of the windshield and now the wipers aren’t working? I’m not here because of that. 🥴

Amazing! One of my wife's wipers went out and I thought, "That's odd." She said she wanted to take it to the shop and I said, "'Wait, I'm on it!" This was the first video I stumbled on and it was just a loose nut. Thank you so much!

@jimmo1949 2 года назад

You are a fantastic instructor. your video is all inclusive in resolving my issue with one wiper arm working and the passenger side is not working. Your explanation of the issues and the resolve are perfect for non-mechanic do-it-yourselfers.

@jadaharris3834 Год назад

I just have to say thank you! After 6 months of riding with 1 wiper it was literally the tightening of the wiper bolt🙃 I was avoiding the mechanic for this long!

@JasenWoodworth Год назад

1A Autos videos have helped me so much over the last several years! In this case it was just a lose nut on the wiper arm. Saved us a trip to the mechanic 1500 miles from home. Thank you so much for all the content, and I try to get as many parts from 1A auto if ordering online. 🙏👍

@richardhaywood4123 3 года назад

In some cases a repair kit can be purchased, usually aftermarket, which contains new push rods with new plastic ball sockets,you then clean up the metal ball part and fit the new rods with some grease for lubrication applied to the ball sockets.

Man 1A really EARNS peoples' business with these great videos. Keep 'em coming.

@timtim8011 Год назад

Excellent, thank you. This was perfect. Super clear communication in this video! My passenger wiper wouldn't move, and because of your video, I found that only the nut on the wiper arm was loose. Two minute fix with 14mm socket. Yeah! 👍 👍 👍

@JulieW-xc3ij 8 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! The nut just needed a little tightening and it's all good to go. I'm relieved to save the time and cost of a trip to the shop.

Gday , I'm a cowgirl from Australia 🇦🇺, I literally just followed your instructions I used cable ties and heavy duty duct tape and did a band aid repair, I have left most of the screws off the cowl and am about to go online and order the part , I very much doubt I'm going to put it in myself it looks a bit complicated , so greatful you gave me a temporary fix whilst I wait to get it done xxxx. Thanks soo much

Your video was very helpful, thank you! I went through a few other videos and none of them were helpful. I have a 2015 Chevy Equinox. Thanks to your video, I got the malfunctioning wiper working today. Keep up the good work!

@williamrgrant 9 месяцев назад

Nice clear video! I appreciated the discussion of a temporary fix just to get by while waiting for the new part.

@blakelwhitney 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! I watched a few videos how to replace the arm and motor then came across yours. Turned it to only be that bolt at the top! Saved me a ton of time abd money just by tightening it up. Thanks!

@mistynails Год назад

Thank you so much for your video. You are a great instructor. I am by no means any kind of mechanic yet I was able to go out today and fix the issue with one of my wipers not working. I was super stressed it was going to cost me hundreds of dollars and all i wound up having to do was tighten the bolt. Now it is back to normal. Even if it had been something that I had to replace I would have left you this comment anyways. I loved the video it was very well done.

@zellhazy5357 8 дней назад

I watched this video because this particularly happened to me today at work tomorrow I will be going to try and fix this

@VR46Monster Год назад

i love this video. i was looking at least for temporary sulution of the worn ball joint.. its here ! nice'!

@VR46Monster Год назад

After steugling with finding place for the zip ties... Ive drilled hole trough the ball it wasnt really hard material reminded me brass.. then ive put long screw through with big washers on each side, two nuts in contra little loose so it can move freely, now its like new and i would bet it will outlast the car this way.

@dazme6245 Год назад

Wow I truly appreciate this video. My hummer h3 has this exact problem. Now I know what to look for and how to fix it all thanks to you. 🙏

@Xarax123-k1y 11 месяцев назад

I had this exact problem. You probably just saved me hundreds of dollars taking my car to the dealership. One wiper arm was moving g freely. Luckily it was just a loose nut. Dealership would've probably tried to replace the entire motor assembly

@rumblindave6707 Год назад

for me its was the 2 nuts the one on the wiper and the one behind the wheel. thanks saved my trip from being delayed...

@evildrmainstream...6767 Год назад

For a temporary/ permanent fix drill a small hole in the ball socket and use a self tapping screw and a small washer to hold the unit together.

@jasonschmidt157 3 месяца назад

Do you have to have that special tool to get blade off post I can’t seem to get mine off

@donovanorvis3384 Год назад

Well thanks a million cause my driver side wiper arm just stop working and just watching half of this video I went out pop off the cover tighten the bolt holding the arm then I tried to move the arm it didn't move so then I turn the wipers on and bingo that was it thanks again

@bryanmilne 2 года назад

I checked the fuses three times recently and they are good. I just installed a brand new Switch and wipers moved about one inch when I tried it out. When I looked under the cowel the Motor (new about a year and half ago) and linkage worked fine for about two minutes (with wiper arms removed). So why won't my windshield wipers turn on?

@cgravel44 Год назад

This was so good, appreciate you!

@iamburl2667 Год назад

Love the detail thank you sir

@Ed-mo2np Месяц назад

Do you have to replace the whole thing, or can't you just replace thet one arm?

@eldersteveharris Год назад

I currently have this same problem with my 2016 infiniti QX60. Left my wipers on automatic, ran though the Carwash then noticed I only had one blade working. Now after a few days of one blade, now both blades have stopped working. I still hear and feel the motor so could it that both blades popped off the way you described it in your video? Thanks

@grandiose_3392 2 года назад

This helped a lot. I like your attitude dude. Quirky 🤔

@walterhills205 Год назад

Nice explanation 👍

@iblvtoo 2 года назад

i wish you had shown pictures of the actual transmission itself. my wipers are still paired, and sychonized. i think it must be the connectoion to the motor or the bar. find out soon, working on it now .

@heroknaderi 2 года назад

thanks. one issee i have is once i turned on the wipers wish ice in it it got stuck and now it does not even fintion

@Devin82m 2 года назад

Thanks as always! Very helpful.

@MrMOGHammer Год назад

Started diagnosis with the least obvious cause, when the most common cause is a stripped splined blade hole. Now that was the regulator arm sometimes those are replaceable no need to change the whole assembly, although it’s a wise move because other parts on it might as well be about to give up too.
