great video! I have an issue with my windshield wiper motor it is turning and running fine, however when i attach the transmission and wipers it just spins inside the clip that connects it to the transmission. everything is tight as can be. im able to move the wipers by hand. is the motor shaft probably stripped? If you see this and could help it would be extremely appreciated. thank you.
@Mr grow Medical I was just wondering did you have to end up changing the wiper motor any way because I am having the exact same problem with my 2007 Chevy cobalt.
This guy is amazing! He is so concise and there is no wasted garbage in every single one of his videos that I have watched so far. I am a new fan and I would just like to say thank you to Scotty. I’m learning a lot and I’m taking on projects I never would have before.
Thank you so much for this video. It gave us the confidence to tackle the job ourselves instead of paying hundreds to someone else. In our case it turned out that the motor was ok, but part of the mechanism under the plastic cover was siezed up. It worked like brand new once we loosened it up, though in the process we broke part of the plate that attaches to the car and had to fashion an extra plate to slide over the top to keep it all together! With that success under our belt we're thinking about tackling the non-working electric window next. Vehicle: 2003 Daewoo Nubira.
hey that's my exact van ... great video... scotty you are much more help than any bigwigs on tv ... your a real person ... god bless and keep up the good work!
Awesome scotty...I love every single one of your videos. I am an aspiring mechanic, with a level 1 in engine systems. Out here in jamaica, level 1 in the lowest most basic achievement. I wish I lived near you man. I want to learn so much more
There have been a few times lately when I needed to look up how to perform a specific task on one of my cars and came across a "Scotty Kilmer" video. At first I thought you were quite goofy, but your videos are so well done that they left me with no questions. Each task was performed with confidence after watching the video. Now, when I'm looking for a video tutorial on a specific repair task, I am thrilled to find a goofy, Scotty Kilmer video. My daughter's 2011 Juke has an issue with the windshield wiper motor, and your video once again prepared me to tackle the job.
hes good but this job is childs play youd have be an absolute novice at fixing anything not to be able to do this, i did all this and much more to my whiper system and id never done it before but i actually fixed the dead motor aswel all the videos on this topic just replace the motor they are expensive and in my case very hard to find, my car is old, now i need to learn exactly how these motors work and fail to stand a chance of getting it to work again
Neighbor's 96 Plymouth Voyager wipers stopped working. Previous owner told her they often stop working but he never was able to fix it right. When i took the panel off 1st thing i saw was the main bolt attaching linkage arm to motor was so loose the bracket had almost fallen off. I reattached but didn't know what the starting point was or what the proper linkage set up and cycle...that is until i found THIS video that actually showed the linkage start position and proper running illustration...until I saw this and not starting at the right point the wipers were turning backwards as if they would be up full at power off & on. I didn't know (but learned) driver side blade must be on top or both blades will collide (hard) 1st time they run. THANKS AGAIN for your great work
My wipers came on by themselves wouldn't shut off. Fuse kept burning out. Then completely stopped working. Ebay bought a used one 40.00 watched this video works like a champ! Thanks Scotty
@Matthew55904 Yes, lights can come on at any time, but some maintenance lights come on at certain mileage times. Not the check engine light, but other warning lights can come on at mileage intervals. Scotty
Thanks Scotty. Great to know I messed it up. I figured it was a direct drive connected to the motor connected by gears timed by a chip. Didn't know there was mechanical moving parts. I'm a steamfitter graduate apprentice and went to trade school in HS. Worked for a plumber for a couple years and an HVAC company for 5. I can troubleshoot and fix an oil burner on a furnace or boiler or central air condencer or air handler but I never been under the hood, unless to add w/w fluid lol.
you have to take apart the rear inner cover panel to check it out. But first try tightening the bolt that holds the wiper on the outside, they can loosen up
I especially liked the part where you show how that arm works normally. Lots more moving parts under that plastic cowl than I thought! Ever since you posted the clip about changing your clutch, I've been a little suspicious about how things can appear simpler than they actually are (grin). This repair seems pretty simple, however. Keep em coming, these videos are great.
@keneyed209 Unfortunately that's how they sell them. I often use junk yards for such stuff. But you can try Dormans, they make a lot of aftermarket parts. Just google it or ask at your local auto parts store, they can all order dorman parts. Scotty
I am so thankful for your advice. (56F) I have always been a good gottadoitmyselfcauseimbroke single Mom- and now I am older and stuff like this you show- really helps. I also bought a Ford Ranger (4x4 4.0) so parts and unneeded gadgets are cheap and everywhere...
yes, put the motor on the wiring, turn it on, then off. When it's cycled to the off position, then put the arm on the motor. The actual gear itself has no particular position as it works 360 degrees
@Ji99i3 Often they squeak just because their rubber is worn, clean em with some denatured alcohol, that works great. As for losing one speed, that's usually the motor assembly starting to break down. Scotty
@MegaDodge19 those systems are relatively complex, with even computer modules operating them. I just put in a toggle switch to run em direct when I fix them , beats the heck out of going through all that engineered nightmare wiring. Scotty
I have not seen even 1 single video on the hole youtube about how to remove the yaris 2014 hatchback wiper arms without breaking the asist arm of the wiper witch the bottom part is made out of plastic an has no secret boton hiden enywhere to take it out.
CAUTION: Unplug the power to the wiper motor (at battery) before working on linkage or wiper motor main bolt /arm and assembly as the motor will cycle thru 1 turn when any forced movement is applied i.e when main motor bolt is tightened without bracing entire linkage against movement. This can grab, pinch and / or damn near rip your fingers off. Great Video, Good Luck
Once upon a time I watched a video of how to do the lower ball joints on my Jetta , looked fairly straight forward and the video showed about 12 minutes to do it per side. So 2 hours and 17 minutes later I got one done and back together as every bolt /pin, whatever was just plain rusted in place. Armed with the how to the other side took about 15 minutes till one of the bolts had a round head not the hex as all the others. So all this to say I took my wiper off the other day and it was rusted on securely and there is no way you can pop these things off as shown. I wish it were easier. However I liked the video as it appears my present 4x4 will need a new wiper motor and this looks doable for me.
@mobes329 I'm tired of sweating in Texas, I'll take the chicago wind for a while here (though I did go to the university of illinois, and man, did it get cold in the winter.) Scotty
@jgloves2smile first, you'd hot wire the motor to see if it works,If it does, then check the switch and fuses next, and pray the wiring hasn't shorted out somewhere.
You are the man for this! I am by no means a mechanic, but my mothers mechanic wants to charge 200 dollars parts and labor. She trusts her dealers and doesn't want me to do it, so I will save this and use it for my vehicle if it ever happens lol. What was the meter that you used to test if the motor had power running to it?
what did i do wrong if the wipers are going to wrong way.. the old motor was out so i replaced it. hooked it up like you said to find the right spot so i can bolt on my wipers, and the first thing they wont to do is go towards the truck motor.. i have burned up 2 wiper motors so far, could you help me with this please.. oh, and you are a down to earth kinda person on all your videos i have watched, thank you and keep up the great work..
@Rhin0Neil Yes, some people mark em, I use my memory in such a simple case. I'll mark cams on engine timing belt jobs, but not something this easy to remember. Scotty
try tightening the bolt on the non working one, they are normally covered with a plastic flip part you bend up to get to the bolt. If not that, linkeage is broken If you like my car help, be sure to watch my live car talk show every saturday morning at 10 AM CST on google events. Just go to my scotty kilmer channel on youtube saturday morning at 10, and click on the google plus icon on the top right corner. That takes you to the event where you can ask me questions Live.
I mentioned on another video I have a 76 dodge pickup... my wipers quit awhile back, I assumed it was just the motor and bought a new one, now the setup is completely different then what you've shown, the motor is by the master cylinder partially covered by the brake booster ( managed to get it off without removing that but would be handy if you have tips on how to remove it)....the only motor I could get from autozone that fits the truck has 4 power terminals instead of 7, motor won't work now
@jesusali Ah, that's an easy job, it just bolts off and you whack the middle with a hammer while pushing on the wheel with your legs, and it pops right off. Scotty
@CoolasIce2 Nah, I've always found Scotty's grunts quite humorous, as I sometimes do the same thing when wrenching on my cars. Also as he mentioned that's quite tame for a mechanic! Keep up the good work, Scotty!
Very useful tip! Can you please explain reason of low speed and INT option not work on Toyota Camry 4 gen? Other hand, my car wiper auto park doesn't work as well.
Good video, one tip you forgot to add. You should always check if the old motor is running once you removed it from the linkage. My car's linkage was so rusted out that it wouldn't turn anymore and I changed the motor for no reason ;-( Can we add some lube/grease to help the linkage stay functional and rust free ? thanks.
Hey Scotty. I have an 02 Dodge Dakota. The last rain I turned on the wipers and the pasenger one didn't work but the driver side did. Then the passenger one lifts up and they got locked up together and I had to pull over and rip them apart in the pouring rain. Now the driver side still works but doesn't rotate all the way. I thought the motor was shot, but I guess since it still has power the linkage is messed up?
Looks easy. Thank you. I think I will try to do it myself. I have a 1987 Plymouth Gran Fury and motor is accessible, I think (anyway, I can see it) ; hope it is not difficult to remove.
hi scotty, im really glad you made this video. i have a question thats relevant though. what do i need to repair when only the last 2 wiper speeds work (the slowest doesnt) and my wipers squeak like hell while they're on. it sounds like they're going to break. i have a suspicion its the wiper pivots, but thats from doing research on the internet. some people also say my wiper arm is broken (the one inside the car) anyways any and all help is appreciated.
Love your show, very informative. I have a question: 2007 Mazda3 the wipers no longer return to the lower start position. When I turn them off they return to near the bottom of the windshield and it seems like they are stopping higher and higher! But they work fine, just don't return all the way down. Any Ideas??
Love the videos, my 2000 Caravan wipers tend to not shut off after being turned on. If I cannot manage to turn them off before turning the vehicle off they will keep running for about a minute or two.Already tried to replace the controls in the van. Could it be the motor causing the problem?
I see you're working on a Caravan/Voyager, do you have any idea why the wipers in my moms 96 Voyager will just randomly turn themselves on even if the switch is off? They;ll usually wipe for 3 or 4 cycles then shut off halfway across the windshield. They work fine when the wiper switch is actually in the on position though.
Scotty I can remember back when auto part stores used to sell refills for the wipers, today they don't anymore and sell the whole wiper with the refill in it. Do you know why they stopped doing this?
i had a night mare for 2 hours trying to remove one wiper arm, i got one off but the other would not budge, used pry bar and the lo. found out im prob gonna need to get a puller as tried everything and it would not budge.
hi Scotty!! I have a question, i had problems with bad wiper motor, did (almost)everything exactly like this video, exept i replace inside sprocket that had stripped its teeth, question is there some type of timing or certain position gear needs to go in??? love ur videos that have saved me alot of money.... vvvrrrrrrroooommmmmm!!!!!

You're awesome Scotty :) thanks for the tips & i love these intros & closure of your videos. Please being them back in your new videos.
@Mr grow Medical I was just wondering did you have to end up changing the wiper motor any way because I am having the exact same problem with my 2007 Chevy cobalt.
@Mr grow Medical ok I will have to take a look at that and thanks for your reply.
I hope this man lives forever because he is such a money saver and teaches us so much
This guy is amazing! He is so concise and there is no wasted garbage in every single one of his videos that I have watched so far. I am a new fan and I would just like to say thank you to Scotty.
I’m learning a lot and I’m taking on projects I never would have before.
Ya know what I like about you? You're concise, incredibly so. The only words in there? Those are the exact ones I need --no droning.
+blondegaijin that’s my goal, no fluff just facts, thanks for watching👍
blondegaijin Exactly.
This man is a Saint. Every car issue that either myself or my girlfriend has run into Scotty has a video for. 10/10 Best dude ever.

I will start reading my owner's manual in Scotty's voice from now on.
you have to take apart the rear inner cover panel to check it out. But first try tightening the bolt that holds the wiper on the outside, they can loosen up
normally a bad motor assembly, rain shorts em out. Try a used junkyard unit, new ones cost a ton
Love this guy he's always straight to the point
This is why we love you Scotty
I especially liked the part where you show how that arm works normally. Lots more moving parts under that plastic cowl than I thought!

@youfrancis You gotta have the hands, man. Machines just bow to the master when I show up. Scotty
Thanks scotty you are one of the best mechanic always watch your videos

go to the motor, unplug it, and hot wire it with power and ground. if it still acts up, replace the motor. If not, fix the wiring or switch
yes, put the motor on the wiring, turn it on, then off. When it's cycled to the off position, then put the arm on the motor. The actual gear itself has no particular position as it works 360 degrees
Very nice, quick, faster and to the point video.
often broken wiper linkeage bushings, or just plain burned out motor
@Ji99i3 Often they squeak just because their rubber is worn, clean em with some denatured alcohol, that works great. As for losing one speed, that's usually the motor assembly starting to break down. Scotty
Thanks, got them working now. Much easier to drive in the rain now.
@13FravelJ yes, that often works fine. Scotty
@Neeal314 yes, almost always a bad motor assembly, the contacts inside go bad, replace the whole unit.
Got to love Scott's videos
Use (blue) Loctite upon reassembly and also a good time to change those blades! Great video Scotty, you make everything look easy!!
Thank you friend! It took me 15 minutes!
@CoolasIce2 Grunting is part of being a mechanic. Be happy I'm not swearing. Scotty
@Infinitrium that is almost always a worn out wiper motor assembly, they short out internally and do that a lot. Scotty
@MegaDodge19 those systems are relatively complex, with even computer modules operating them. I just put in a toggle switch to run em direct when I fix them , beats the heck out of going through all that engineered nightmare wiring. Scotty
you make it so easy. thank you. i plan to bring it to the shop. but I will try it my self
Cool! I've never had to do this but I'm sure I will at some point in the future. Thanks.
often the bushings on the wiper linkeage that connect the motor to the blades brake and that happens
Scotty does it again , thanks for the great tips !
I have not seen even 1 single video on the hole youtube about how to remove the yaris 2014 hatchback wiper arms without breaking the asist arm of the wiper witch the bottom part is made out of plastic an has no secret boton hiden enywhere to take it out.

This can grab, pinch and / or damn near rip your fingers off. Great Video, Good Luck
it actually could lbe the motor assembly, they often break like that and won't shut off unless you pull the fuse. see it a lot
Scotty is good people !!!!!!
Once upon a time I watched a video of how to do the lower ball joints on my Jetta , looked fairly straight forward and the video showed about 12 minutes to do it per side.

This is so pure.
@13FravelJ put a new blade, that often does it. If not, then the linkeage is breaking down, a royal pain to fix. Scotty
Good stuff Scottie.
Best video ever
@mobes329 I'm tired of sweating in Texas, I'll take the chicago wind for a while here (though I did go to the university of illinois, and man, did it get cold in the winter.) Scotty
often a weak motor does that, also check the wiper arm linkeage for bad bushings
@vispher101 either take that back, or get a wiring diagram from them to show how to rewire yours to work on that wiring set up
We love you Scotty
never miss me a scotty video - your the best - rock on kilmer - and keep up the grunting...lol
@jgloves2smile first, you'd hot wire the motor to see if it works,If it does, then check the switch and fuses next, and pray the wiring hasn't shorted out somewhere.
@jbonkerz Yes, that's always a bad motor in those designs, the circuits inside burn out and do that. Scotty
either the transmission, or bent wiper linkage
You are the man for this! I am by no means a mechanic, but my mothers mechanic wants to charge 200 dollars parts and labor. She trusts her dealers and doesn't want me to do it, so I will save this and use it for my vehicle if it ever happens lol. What was the meter that you used to test if the motor had power running to it?
what did i do wrong if the wipers are going to wrong way.. the old motor was out so i replaced it. hooked it up like you said to find the right spot so i can bolt on my wipers, and the first thing they wont to do is go towards the truck motor.. i have burned up 2 wiper motors so far, could you help me with this please.. oh, and you are a down to earth kinda person on all your videos i have watched, thank you and keep up the great work..
@Rhin0Neil Yes, some people mark em, I use my memory in such a simple case. I'll mark cams on engine timing belt jobs, but not something this easy to remember. Scotty
Absolute legend
Another Great Video
try tightening the bolt on the non working one, they are normally covered with a plastic flip part you bend up to get to the bolt. If not that, linkeage is broken If you like my car help, be sure to watch my live car talk show every saturday morning at 10 AM CST on google events. Just go to my scotty kilmer channel on youtube saturday morning at 10, and click on the google plus icon on the top right corner. That takes you to the event where you can ask me questions Live.
try a new ground wire to the motor wiring. If that doesn't do it, replace the motor assembly
normally that's the circuits breaking down inside the motor. Putting a rebuilt assembly on normally fixes that.
I mentioned on another video I have a 76 dodge pickup... my wipers quit awhile back, I assumed it was just the motor and bought a new one, now the setup is completely different then what you've shown, the motor is by the master cylinder partially covered by the brake booster ( managed to get it off without removing that but would be handy if you have tips on how to remove it)....the only motor I could get from autozone that fits the truck has 4 power terminals instead of 7, motor won't work now
LOVE YOU SCOTTY👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍YOU THE BEST
@daredevil22 chrysler van, but fords are pretty similar
@Matthew55904 It's a pain, most body shops have people who do it professionally for a reasonable fee. Scotty
@jesusali Ah, that's an easy job, it just bolts off and you whack the middle with a hammer while pushing on the wheel with your legs, and it pops right off. Scotty
you’re a beast !! great communicator
@smitty6293 theoretically it could be, but 99 percent it's the motor assembly itself. Scotty
Really helpful many thanks!!!
first the passenger arm was loose, but now they are probably all bent up and the whole assemble will need replacing
Another great and informative vid Scotty!
@CoolasIce2 Nah, I've always found Scotty's grunts quite humorous, as I sometimes do the same thing when wrenching on my cars. Also as he mentioned that's quite tame for a mechanic! Keep up the good work, Scotty!
I like to put anti-seize on the shafts that hold the wiper arm. Makes them way easier to pop off later.
Very useful tip!
Can you please explain reason of low speed and INT option not work on Toyota Camry 4 gen? Other hand, my car wiper auto park doesn't work as well.
Good video, one tip you forgot to add.
You should always check if the old motor is running once you removed it from the linkage. My car's linkage was so rusted out that it wouldn't turn anymore and I changed the motor for no reason ;-(
Can we add some lube/grease to help the linkage stay functional and rust free ?
thanks.
Hey Scotty. I have an 02 Dodge Dakota. The last rain I turned on the wipers and the pasenger one didn't work but the driver side did. Then the passenger one lifts up and they got locked up together and I had to pull over and rip them apart in the pouring rain. Now the driver side still works but doesn't rotate all the way. I thought the motor was shot, but I guess since it still has power the linkage is messed up?
Hey nice video. I wish it was still hot in Illinois...LOL
@scottykilmer
Thanks Scotty. I picked up a replacement motor and installed it. Problem solved. :)
Looks easy. Thank you. I think I will try to do it myself. I have a 1987 Plymouth Gran Fury and motor is accessible, I think (anyway, I can see it) ; hope it is not difficult to remove.
How fix HEATER FAN
hi scotty, im really glad you made this video. i have a question thats relevant though. what do i need to repair when only the last 2 wiper speeds work (the slowest doesnt) and my wipers squeak like hell while they're on. it sounds like they're going to break. i have a suspicion its the wiper pivots, but thats from doing research on the internet. some people also say my wiper arm is broken (the one inside the car) anyways any and all help is appreciated.
@13FravelJ yes, try tightening it first. Scotty
You the man Scotty. Thanks
Love your show, very informative. I have a question: 2007 Mazda3 the wipers no longer return to the lower start position. When I turn them off they return to near the bottom of the windshield and it seems like they are stopping higher and higher! But they work fine, just don't return all the way down. Any Ideas??
Your the man!!
often a worn out motor or bad ground wire to the motor
Great 📹!
Thank you~!!! Great videos~!!! Keep on coming~!!!
Love the videos, my 2000 Caravan wipers tend to not shut off after being turned on. If I cannot manage to turn them off before turning the vehicle off they will keep running for about a minute or two.Already tried to replace the controls in the van. Could it be the motor causing the problem?
broken motor or broken wiper linkage bushings that make em go
I see you're working on a Caravan/Voyager, do you have any idea why the wipers in my moms 96 Voyager will just randomly turn themselves on even if the switch is off? They;ll usually wipe for 3 or 4 cycles then shut off halfway across the windshield. They work fine when the wiper switch is actually in the on position though.
Scotty I can remember back when auto part stores used to sell refills for the wipers, today they don't anymore and sell the whole wiper with the refill in it. Do you know why they stopped doing this?
i had a night mare for 2 hours trying to remove one wiper arm, i got one off but the other would not budge, used pry bar and the lo. found out im prob gonna need to get a puller as tried everything and it would not budge.
I use a power probe 3
