Wiper Malfunction - Not in my repair manual!

Apr 07, 2004 1 Replies

After searching relentlessly through my repair manuals (both Chilton and OEM Toyota pickup manual) I was hoping someone could help me out. One of my wiper blades (passenger's side) has stopped working completely, no movement. My driver's side wiper still works perfectly fine. I am not quite sure how to go about fixing this, and like I said before, I am having a hard time finding information on repair. Is it the wiper motor? Linkage? The linkage looks alright from what I can see. Any ideas? Thanks!

As a WAG, I would say that one arm has fallen off the link assembly of the wipers either at the motor or at the point where the link arm to the wiper attaches by the vent behind the hood. Have you pulled the vent panel off to see if everything is still attached? Also, check to see if the wiper arm is stripped out or not entirely screwed on to the post. Been a while since I looked at one so I'm really guessing here ;>)
