Wipers will not work......

So today I go out and start my car, I notice the wipers move up from their off position like they were left on, but the switch was in the off position.... So I flipped it on, and nothing. I fussed with it for awhile, but gave up and went on to what I had to do. Thought it might fix when I turn the car back on next time, well no luck with that.

Its supposed to rain for this whole week.... Does anyone know WTF is wrong with them??? Possibly blown fuse??? The signals still work, and the wiper fluid still sprays and the brights work still, so I doubt its the lever...
 


If you are posting before checking the fuse...please get off the pc and help us help you by not having us tell you to go check.

Laughs :th_laugh-lol3:

Question is, where is said fuse? I just came on here to ask for some help before I go and mess with it. :D
 
Check your owners manual or some fuse panels have the layout of what fuse is what on there. Plus I know for my car I only have two fuse locations.....
 
Open the glove box and please read your owners manual. A person should really not drive a car if they haven't familiarized themselves with things like fuse box location.

Bill you are cracking me up here :th_laugh-lol3:

If its behind the glove box, that forget that mess, I'm not pulling apart my dash for nothing.. Because yes, I just went out to look, and yes I have the manual..

some of you all really do crack me up :th_laugh-lol3:
 
Ok to check the fuse panel on the side of the car you don't have to tear the dash apart. But go read the manual first to learn how to get to the fuse panel location.
 
I'm not laughing though. Personally I kinda feel like you are wasting time where someone that needs help, could be getting that help. Meanwhile you won't get off your butt and check a fuse.

If you were going to a dealership charging $100 an hour, I bet you'd have found and checked that fuse by now.
 


Kevin and I are both happy you have a good sense of humor in the meanwhile. But please...go check the fuse.

Bill, yes I found the fuses, but what I can't figure out is which fuse is what.. Why? I had the wrong manual also... :th_angry2:
So I have looked all over the car for mine, but nope, not there. Nothing to tell me what fuse is what...
 
Don't look at me. My Bonneville has a fuse diagram on the panel you remove to get at the fuse box. Heck..even my Regal has it. I dunno about crappy GP's though. :D
 
well found the diagram stuck to the other side of the glove box (facing the driver) someone removed it off that panel for some odd reason..

Bad news, its not the fuse... :(
 


Ok, check under the hood for a relay in teh fuse panel. Or check for power at the fuse.

Then pull the cowl and test for power going to the motor.

Yes^^ if no power it's a faulty motor and will run you around 70-100$, maybe less, for the 1997-02 SE's.
