96 Quest Rear and Front Wipers

Apr 07, 2008 1 Replies

My rear wiper stopped working. When I turn it on it jerks slightly, like its trying to engage but never engages. Do I need a new motor?



The passenger side front windshield washer nozzle does not spray, while trying to clean it, the nozzle came off an now I can't put it back on without having to remove the entire front cowl assembly to reclip it? I did notice that the nozzle is clear, I can blow air thru its tiny opening.



Suggestions anyone?


Probably a bad motor or internal switches in the motor that control the cycle. If you need one, email me, I have working one for sale cheap from a '93/'95 that I pulled from mine. We'd need to check part #'s to make sure it would fit.

Yeah, get used to it! Those of us who live in snow country have replaced those standing snap-offs many a time. It's easy to remove the cowl - just remove the wipers, take out the trim screws, turn the round headed fasteners 90 degrees. The cowl comes out. Repair (or usually replace) the nozzle. Reassemble.
