THE MEDIC

Hi:

Okay, lets start with the rear motors for the windows. First, it is odd that both went bad. To be honest, I've never seen them go bad before and have been in the business for over 30 years. What I recommend is this. First, have another mechanic check to see if the motors are getting power. Something tells me a fuse or broken wire is the issue and not the motors (especially not both). If they find the motors are bad, the price they quoted is about average based on what I read for labor.

Next, the wipers should be an easy fix. First, understand that the wiper arms (the part connected to the vehicle) are spring loaded and keep the wiper blade pushed against the windshield. The springs can lose their tension and I have seen them rust to a point that they are weak. They are located under the wiper arm. Pull the wiper arm away from the windshield to see if there is enough pressure when it returns. If not, chances are the wiper arms need replaced. It is easy to do. There is one nut that holds it in place under a cover that is where they mount. Remove the nut, remove the arm, and replace.

As far as the headlights, that is a normal problem today. There are different products that claim to repair it. However, I haven't found any that really work. The sun is actually drawing the oils from the plastic. I have two options for you. First, purchase a fine polishing compound and following the directions, see if that removes the fog. It should remove some or most of it. If that doesn't work, you can purchase new headlight assemblies on the internet (ebay.) For really cheap. I just purchased new ones for my father in law for 25 bucks each.

I hope this helps.

There is a chance you have a weak or broken ground causing the electrical problems. As far s the motors, I would just make sure they are bad by checking for power to them or sending power to them to see if they operate. The wipers, on the other hand, sounds like a problem where the springs are weak and not keeping enough pressure on the windshield.
