Hey guys!
Ive got a 1990 civic with some windshield wipers that are not working.


Now I have out power directly to the sprayers motors and the definitely work. Fluid sprayed everywhere (heh)


I see no popped fuses, no cuts in the wiring or obvious damage.


This badass little care does a rear wiper and that sprayer does work.


Any ideas on how to fix this?


thanks in advance! lots of brilliant minds on here.

 

Your actual stalk on the steering column could be bad. One of the functions on my wipers no longer work and my sprayer function no longer works out of the blue starting a few months back. I suspect the actual steering wheel stalk is bad but haven't tried changing it yet.

 

Do you have power coming from the switch like James said? Or were you supplying the power from a battery? You could have a clogged line but if there is no power from the switch, check fuses first. If fuses are good, try a good switch but also check any wiring that might be rubbing somewhere especially if it looks out of place. On these older cars, wiring doesn't always get routed where it should.

 

Most likely the switch. Replace it with a used one from ebay. New ones are crazy expensive. You can do it without removing the steering wheel but it's a pain.
