That sucks! It's fricken windy too! John it doesn't move the arm at all? I thought they were connected together somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Do the newer arms use nuts to hold the arm to the pivot? Maybe the nut backed off, but I'm guessing the arm might be stripped out. Look at the post the arm mounts to and see if it's turning when your wipers are on. If it is, then you'll probably need a new wiper arm. If not, then it might be the wiper transmission, but I'd doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedz34 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Yeah, it's only like a week to the start of spring, and it's still snowing here! :? I was supposed to work some more on the parts car but then it fucking snowed last night like a inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo231 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 A good test is if you can move it yourself. Not being familiar with newer GPs but with older ones, the arms sit on a splined shaft. Of course, with no splines (wiped out), no turning. If the splines are good, there is the arm mechanism the wiper arms run off. Best I can do to show you is off my S-10. The motor turns the left wiper blade via an arm...another arm then connects the left wiper to the right wiper. I may have a clearer picture, but this one probably gives you the point. That's on my wiper page http://members.aol.com/great88fiero/s10/wiper.htm Good luck. Bad news is, it's gonna need parts, regardless of what you find...unless it's a lose bolt.

john99gtp Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 what did you manage to do to it? i don't see how you can just break it...LOL well, on tuesday, it was raining in the morning, so my wipers were on delay, then it got cold out, froze the rain and turned to snow. I went out to start my car, not realizing delay was on, and left. (it was on the uber long delay, so i didnt even see it wipe the first time) ill take a look ben, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfewtrail Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Snow......haha, it was about 75* here today(Georgia!!!). I took advantage of it and cleaned the SE for about 6hrs. :oops: Then I drove it for 10mins(it was about dark out when I got finished cleaning it) and put it back in the garage. We're supposed to be getting some rain/storms here in a minute though, if it's clear/nice out at any point tomorrow I'll have some new pics of the '93.
