When i use my windshield wipers, I notice sometimes they actually get stuck on the way up about halfway so it's blocking my view. What is the cause of this and can it be fixed easily and cheaply? 2000 Boxster S
One of my wipers was misbehaving and when I took the wiper assembly off of the metal post, the inside of the aluminium housing was stripped out. I got a dremel tool and put teeth back into the female part of the wiper assembly, snugged it up and it seems to be working fine. First thing is to check to make sure the wiper assembly is tightly attached to the post.
I don't think thats whats happening to me. Both of my wipers freeze up in sync. And then will continue after a few seconds. Or I can shut off and turn back on manually to get it going again.
That's definitely not normal. Do you think it's electrical or mechanical? Are there any strange clinking or snapping noises associated with the pause? Do you have any other electrical problems with the car? The ignition switch has been known to cause weird, semmingly unrelated electrical problems.
Hey, its a long shot, but I just replaced my ignition switch, pretty easy DIY. Word on the street is that the ignition switch can be responsible for all sorts of electrical problems. It might be worth a try,
