Wipers go up but not down


Recommended Posts

I was driving my 2013 Journey in a decent amount of rain today and the wipers stopped working correctly. They will go up but not down and the motor makes a pretty loud hum when they are “stuck” in that position. I can push them back down with a little force and then they will go down on their own at about 2/3 down. I don’t THINK it’s the motor, but I can’t imagine what it is. Anyone have any suggestions? TIA

well if it's not the motor than it has to be the linkage arms from the motor to the wipers make sure nothing is blocking the arms or that the bushings are not loose or broken, also as a side note go buy you some windshield protectant called rain x. it works wonders you almost dont need your wipers,,, just clean your window real good then put on the rain x i always put it on a couple of times and then let it dry then spray a bit of window cleaner on it and wipe off the hase,,,,good luck
