Car in my sig.
I hear the motor going but the arms don't move. Well, the did move a tiny bit after playing with the wiper switch (up an inch maybe) but immediately stopped.
They worked fine tomorrow.
This morning I had a ton of snow on my car. Having nothing but confidence in my mighty Kia, I usually use the wipers to clear the windshield. So far it's worked OK but I'm wondering if that's what took them out this morning.
I manually pulled up one wiper, and the other came up with it so I guess whatever synchronizes them is still good?
I took a look at the parts diagram and I get how the thing is supposed to work, but I don't see what could have failed that would let the motor spin but not let the arms move - the linkage looks pretty robust.
Any ideas? If there's enough daylight left when I get home I'll try to take the cowl off and take a look in there - but really, I don't know what I'm looking at so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
