I was driving in the rain and I hit a little dip in the road, so the car bounced and my wipers stopped in the middle of my windshield. My motor still makes the clicking noise that it is working but the wipers do not move. I easily pushed the wipers back down and they move together as if they are still engaged. Any ideas? I have an EG hatch by the way

Last line of the first post, I said EG hatch. Its a 92 EH3 to be specific though.

bump?

Could be something wrong with the motor. In the motor there is a park switch for the wipers which allows the wipers to go down when you turn your wipers off. Otherwise when you turn them off they would stay right where you turned them. With something being wrong with that they might not work.

Hmm I think the motor is probably fine.. but I wish I could find out for sure so I know what part to try to get..

You think the motor is fine but your wipers are not moving?

Dekorum

Yes, the motor still makes the normal noise but I think the link transmitting the motor's power to the arms is messed up.

Test the amperage in you motor if its drawing high amperage then its some sort of mechanical issue as to why you wipers are not working.
