Windshield wipers won't work

It sounds as if you might need a new transmission (for the wipers). Usually it's not a big deal to change on most vehicles.

Here's a link to a parts diagram for a '91 DX 4 door.

The actuating rods, parts 10 & 11, have teflonbushings at each end. It's possible that one of these bushings may haveworn and come loose while operating the wipers. Since both wipers stoppedsimultaneously, then I would check the rod bushing at the wiper motorfirst. It's also possible that the wiper motor itself could have aproblem. Check that the linkage at the wiper motor is intact and thatnothing has come loose. There are also electrical checks that one couldmake to test if the wiper switch was at fault. If you have a volt meter,then you can check if the wiper motor is getting 12v when you turn theswitch on for example. Note that a common problem with Honda's wiper systemis worn bushings in the wiper pivots, parts 12 & 14. These can be tested bylifting the blade up off the windshield and trying to rock the pivot at thebase back and forth as well as side to side. Although I've seen some prettyworn pivots, I've never seen any that prevent the wipers from working butit's not impossible. Usually, worn pivots prevent the blade from trackingthe windshield correctly. By the way, you should also check to make surethat the pivot/arm attachment nuts, part 20, haven't come loose. Reportback and let us know what you find. Eric

Thanks guys... I'll let you know how it goes...
