Hello all.
My first post here, did use search but couldnt find anything to help me here.
I try to explain my situation. First freezing morning, wipers were frozen to windscreen. Didnt notice anything unsual but when the car was warm enough, tried to wipe the screen and nothing happened.
When i try to use wipers, i hear relay click and then nothing. Removed the panel covering motors, removed wipers, and i can see the center bolt above the motor running when wipers should move but those
bolts moving the wipers arent doing anything.
I assume the motor is working, could the problem be with those rods moving the wipers? im totally lost with this problem.
Thank you for any ideas.
