Default Windshield vipers and blinkers went out. HELP!

I have a 93 accord Lx. My windshield vipers are on the loose. when i put on the switch i can hear motor work but they stay still. Also my water spray works only when the hood is up... Freaking weird car. It got a mind of its own, i swear.
My blinkers work for hazards but not left/right. green arrows don't turn on either.

How do i fix them?

Thanks,
-V-

For the wipers/blinkers it could be a fuse or a bulb, for the windshield fluid the tubes could be clogged up.

I had too!! LOL



All joking aside...Do as mentioned above and check all your fluid lines for your squirters. Also check the actual wiper where it attaches to the motor to see if they are properly connected or disconnected for some funny reason from the previous owner.

if u can hear the motor running then the fuse is ok, chk the nuts at bottom of wiper arms make sure they are tight, also chk the linkages they might be broken or unattached,, as for the water not spraying with hood closed u need to rerout the tubing, it is getting kinked when hood is closed most likely trouble spot, driver side lower part of the hood where the tubing comes from the fender , if they work with hood up then they are not plugged

yea as said above check the nuts attaching the wiper blades to the motor if its been doing this for a while it may have stripped the little griping parts that stop it from slipping ive seen it happend to a few cars.
