Car speakers stopped working on drivers side! any ideas?

Drivers side windshield wiper stopped working.?

  • A few weeks ago we had some snow and I cleared off my window and when I was about to pull off my drivers side windshield wiper stopped working. I asked the guy at the car lot I bought my car at about it and he tightened the bolt connecting the wiper arm to the car. They were working again, or so I thought anyway. Last night on my way home from work it was raining so I had them on (first time I had to use them since the bolt was tightened). It was working half the way home then all of a sudden it stopped moving again. Why does the bolt keep loosening itself? Is the arm stripped? I doubt it's the linkage since I can get it to work after tightening the bolt. It just keeps loosening itself or something. It's really annoying and it's really rainy here and I can't drive my car because of the stupid wiper. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Answer:

    sounds like where the wiper fits on the stud by the windshield is stripped out ! you probably have to buy that piece where the wiper arm fits on. try the junk yard for a good piece.

Inspect the splines on both the wiper arm and the stub coming out of the cowl. I would guess that the wiper arm is the part that is stripped. Replace the entire arm . Use a nylon locking nut to tighten this assembly up and you should be fine. If you just replace the nylon nut it could come loose again at a time when you really need it, so do this the right way. Good Luck
