i dont think replacin the blades is goin to help... i think its a bad switch or maybe bad fuse. im not sure where the fuse is tho( under hood or kick panel) and i really hope its not a wiring issue. Could it also be a bad relay? any DIY for this??

 

The blades are bad or the wipers dont work at all? Im guessing the 2nd, and I would use a ground tester and test all of the fuses to see if they are good or not.

 

i am having a similar problem w/ my acura vigor. the only speed on the windshield wiper that'll work is 'high'. the intermediate and the normal doesnt work.

my 98 integra has the EXACT same problem. it only works on high and if i turn to another speed, it turns the wiper off completely (sometimes in the middle of the windshield) so i have to time it perfectly when it gets out of my eyesight.

 

check your relay... thats what ended up being tha problem over here

 

I also have a wiper problem in my 93 Acura Vigor. My problem is that the wipers hit the bottom of the windshield as they go down... its like they are going down too far. I've tried adjusting them many times (if i move them higher, when they wipe the left one goes off the windshield...)

is the motor gone bad?

 

your windshield wiper linkage is worn out and needs to be replaced, thats why it is acting all sloppy. I would make sure that you other guys are actually getting power to the wiper motor, but first check fuses and connector pin fit.
