Windshield wipers are not working

Hello,
To better support you is your model just the Cavalier or the LS or LS Sport. Also, what is you engine size in liter? Last, while I am starting to look up the information is your lights and wipers on the same switch?

Hello,

Thanks for the information.

First check all the wiring by and under the battery tray. You are looking for corrosion and bad connections. These must be clean and good contact. There is a splice number SP102 that is under the battery tray. Both the wiper and headlights go to this. Remove the battery and tray and as I said look really good peel some of the insulation back it you have to. To clean all battery corrosion use Arm&Hammer baking soda mixed with water you do not want paste or as thick as pancake mix but nice full of the soda and do not get it on the battery.

5-30 oil.

AC-Delco plugs.

Wiper transmission has failed.

Start with a thermostat.

You will have to remove the plastic cowl to gain access.
Make sure the wiper arm bolts are tight, if so then remove cowl and inspect transmission assembly for broken parts.

The wiper is bolted to a splined gear. The bolt may have come off, or the splines are stripped.

Remove bolt and see if wiper has any play or comes off easily.

The only other possibility is the wiper transmission under the plastic cowl near the windshield.
