More Information on Windshield Wiper Repair

Wipers not moving when they should is the most obvious and troubling sign of a windshield wiper motor that's going bad, but it's not the only one. Other signs of a failing motor include wipers moving slower or less frequently than they should, or producing a loud humming noise when they're turned on. If you notice these symptoms, act as quickly as possible; the relay may soon give out entirely.

When you bring your Subaru in for windshield wiper repair, our technicians will first make sure that it's not a problem with the fuse. If the fuses are all in order, there are many other motor-related parts they'll have to check, including the complex wiring around the motor. There are several small parts within the motor that could be causing the problem; due to the difficulting of disassembly and reassembly, it may be cheaper and faster to simply replace a bad wiper motor.
