    wipers

    the dx i'm picking up has something wrong w/ the wipers.

    either the motor, or something, but when the blades were frozen to the window, they were turned on and ever since, they don't rotate anymore.

    has anyone worked on their blades before?

    i have not yet had any problems with mine.
    gonna try to take a look at it tonight and see what I can figure out.

      no that would be a burt out motor, blades didnt move when you put the power to them because they were frozen, so they just sat there and cooked themselves, your looking at new motors for the wipers,


      oh and what bout that black door you had for sale of your lx im still wanting that how much,shape, shipping etc...

        Could be either the motors themselves. It could also just be a coincidence that they don't work now, in which case it could also be an electrical problem (motors aren't getting power), so break out a voltmeter before you start tearing stuff apart.

        Good job!

          Just in case, check the appropriate fuse also. It might've burnt out before the motor.

          while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

            dont bother taking the blades off. Unscrew the caps and then tighten the bolts.

            or the whole thing could be stripped, then u are ****ed
