My windshield wipers stopped working in the upright position and my radio and cigarette lighter quit working all at the same time. I replaced fuses but still nothing is working. What could this be? What kind of mechanic would I take it to?

hi, this could be a few things and maybe only two. you have to check for voltage at the wiper motor when ignition and switch are both in the on position. if power there ground the wiper motor where it bolts to the car if wiper works bad ground.check fusible links these will be near the fuse box under hood or bolted to the starter. if you need to take to a mechanic and you have one avail an electrical shop can help you. good luck. billymac
