Wiper Motor Repair
Windshield wipers or wiper blades are vital to safe driving. They keep the road visible by wiping rainwater away, keeping the windshield clear. However, a windshield wiper cannot work alone without a windscreen wiper motor.
When wiper motors get damaged get them replaced or get wiper motor repair work done as soon as possible.
What is a wiper motor?
Your car's wiper motor is what powers up the windshield wipers back and forth movement. You'll find it under the cowl - or the gap between your windshield and bonnet - or mounted on the bulkhead that separates the engine and passenger compartments.
You can't remove any visual obstructions from the windscreen if your wiper motor isn't working correctly and can cause a potential accident when driving.

Six signs your wiper motor needs repair
1. Slow-moving blades.
2. Your wiper blades won't change speeds.
3. Non-moving or stuck wiper blades.
4. The wiper blades fail to stop in the correct position.
5. Your wiper blades make a humming noise.
6. Your wipers jam mid-wipe.
What is the procedure for Repairing your wiper motor?
Though the exact repair procedures of wiper motors will depend on your particular vehicle model, in general, the first step would be to disconnect all electrical connections, including your battery.
Then after removing the motor, you'll have to open it up to examine all the motor's internal components. You can then check all the brushes and gears, replace them if necessary, and clean the commutator surface. After reassembling the motor, reconnect all the electricals and then test your wipers out.
