Wipers not working

I checked and those numbers you cited on my Acura MDX fuses and the fuse was melted, I installed a new one and bam! All fixed!

Thanks.

Six cylinder four wheel drive automatic 80,000 miles.

I went through the carwash today, my windshield wiper got caught in the drying mechanism. I stopped the car, but the air was blowing so hard, I could not get out to unlatch the wiper blade. When the air stopped, I unhitched it, but it appeared tweaked. When I turned on the windshield wiper, it did not work. The mechanic at the gas station tried to move the wipers to maybe dislodge them, but now they are stuck in the up position, and still do not work. What do you think is wrong with them, and will this cost me a bundle to fix?

Thank you for your reply. I tried to check the fuse, but I could not figure out for the life of me how to remove the cover, which only happens to hide two of twelve fuses and of course the thirty amp fuse I need to look at. I will try again today, now that I am not as upset.

But back to the wipers, when I came out of the car wash, the wipers were askance, and did not align properly. It sounds like your suggestion, "There is a possibility the wiper linkages have been dislodged and is wedged causing the motor to be frozen". Is the likely culprit, and perhaps the motor is also burned out.

I am not mechanically inclined, so I will have to bring this to a mechanic to fix. Do you recommend I bring it to the dealer, or will an independent mechanic do a fine job?

I hope it does not rain until Monday!

Unfortunately they do not move. When I first exited the car wash, they did move manually, and there did seem to be a buzz from the motor. Now there is no sound or vibration, and the arms are stuck in the up position.

I will bring the car to my local repair shop, so I appreciate your advice on that. Hopefully the motor is not burned out, and it is just the wiper linkages. We will find out on Monday!

Thanks again for your help.

Follow up to situation:

I brought my car into the Shell station where they were broken by the car wash, and they said the windshield wiper motor needed to be replaced, costing me $330.00 with labor. Then he called and said the wiper linkages needed to be replaced and would cost an additional $200.00. Does this sound correct?

The wipers work, but they swing over the edge beyond where the window stops on the driver's side. Any idea if a broken linkage would cause this? Should the mechanic have been able to fix the linkage rather than replace it?

Otherwise the wipers are operational.

My auto wiper is not working. I found the diagram for the auto wiper fuse on the driver side, but I can't see to physically find the fuse. Also, where is the located. They say it's near the rear view but I don't see it.

Thanks

Did you ever find the fuse? I am having the same problem
thanks

Oh. And where did you find the diagrams?
Do you have an electronic copy that you could email

I’m also having problems with my wipers on a 2004 Acura MDX the auto function doesn’t work at all and they will not park. They stop as soon as I turn the switch off so I have to carefully bump the switch until they park. Checked all fuses and relay and all appear to be ok. My manual doesn’t have schematics for auto wiper system any help would be greatly appreciated

I recently purchased a 2004 MDX, and the intermittent wipers never worked.
After some research I found the original rain sensitive windshield had been replaced with a aftermarket without rain sensing.
Is it possible to bypass the rain sensor either by installing a jumper or programming the computer.
A new factory windshield with rain sensing is $1000.00 so I would rather bypass the sensor if possible.
Thank you

Thanks I see from the schematic the auto function is controlled through the park so that makes sense. I will first verify ground to wiper motor but from there I would imagine you would have to replace the wiper motor to replace the park switch? Or are they separate? Thanks for your help

These schematics are exactly what I need but I can't get the resolution high enough to read them.
Is it possible to send a higher quality image or email a pdf file.
Thanks again
