My windshield wipers will not move. I can hear the motor running but the blades seem to be off track.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

It sounds like the linkage came off the motor. The wiper motor is located on the passenger side under the hood. There are three mounting locations for the linkage. One at the motor, and the other two on the wiper gear box. That is the first thing I would check.

See the attached picture. Check the linkage at the motor first.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
