Wipers just died.. HELP!
88 fc vert, I hit the mist switch and they went a few times and then stopped in the middle of the windshield. I got home and the wipers move freely. I turned everything off I hear the motor running. The nuts on the top are tight. I am assuming the linkage faied. Any ideas? What am in for? Is this a common problem? I am hoping that the linkage just came apart but I am not sure if there is something broken in there or not.

Your switch

if the wipers move freely it means that they are no longer connected to the motor, it is a simple ball joint with a rubber washer to hole the linkage on. if you take the black cowl cover off you should be able to find the joint if i remember correctly. When i first got my car the wipers did not work, i had the same symptoms also so that is my guess.

I have a spare one, but sure if it works anymore. It's just sitting out there.
