Subject is a Acura 3.2 TL 1996 and I am wondering why the windshield wiper is not working although the fuses are ok and the operating sound is working?

Hi Kurt,

Seems like the wiper linkage is dislodged. If you lift the wiper arms and they moves freely, that would indicate so. DO NOT turn the arms too much, they might get caught in the movement passage of the motor and cause them to get stuck, which might get the motor burnt if it is left on.
