Wipers stopped working. When you turn them on all the do is wiggle up and down. Replaced motor and changed fuse under dash. Still doing the same thing. What else could it be?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

Is it possible for you to upload a video so I can see what is happening? To be honest, if you replaced the motor and it is getting power (12 volts), you may have a ground issue.

Check to see if there is 12 volts going to the motor. Also, make sure the ground is good or even make a new one.

Here are general directions for using a volt meter as well as a link that discusses checking wiring:

Try this first and let me know what you find. Also, a video would be very helpful if possible.

Take care,

Joe
