Windshield Wiper Problem

Well folks it could not have happened at a better time to have th wipers stop functioning when your driving a 115 km/h in a down pour.

There are no codes to speak off, and the rear wiper works fine. Another odd thing is the sprayers are spraying just no wiping action.

Possible Fuse gone? Or is the wipers just shot.

I actually just bought Rainx Latitude wiper blades, I can't see that having anything to do with the current issue.

Another issue, the car is off but in the electrical stage before you crank the engine the oil light blinks randomly, and I've checked the oil and how on earth do you know where the oil level is...thee hardest dipstick to read oil on!


Please Help! Thanks,

Nick

From: Washington. No, the other one.
K.I.S.S.: check fuses first. Then wiper motor, then switch.

At the base of the windshield, under the pop-out cowling. Driver's side I think. Follow the linkage from the wipers. Or go to http://www.realoem.com/ and check out the pictures for your particular model.
