Electrical problem
1995 Chevy S-10 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Hello, Gentlemen!

As a single mother, your website has helped me out so much. I have been able to replace my alternator and front brakes with your help. I saved a lot of money. I thank you guys for helping out!

I do have a question. My 1995 S-10 pickup's windshield wipers have stopped working. I am just wondering what steps I need to take to get them working again. I believe there is a recall, but not too sure.

If you can help me, I would sure appreciate it. It is very icy and rainy here. I have 2 kids and the other night I had to stop every 100 feet or so to scrape the ice off the wind shield to get home. That was fun. : )

Thank you!

Hello. Thank you for responding!

I just checked the fuse and it seems fine.

This may sound like a stupid question, but where exactly is the wiper motor? I have tried to find pictures of where it could be but no luck. I know a jeep has the motor wedged in between the firewall and the windshield when you take the cover in front of the wipers off.

Is the wiper motor under the hood on the firewall? If so where exactly is it?

Thank you so much for helping me out.
