Asked by Mariah Oct 18, 2020 at 07:58 PM about the 1998 Ford Expedition 4 Dr Eddie Bauer 4WD SUV

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Were on our honeymoon and my husbands wallet
is gone so limited on funds. But the driver side
wiper stopped but passenger works still. Is it the
motor or a fuse? Which box in car or under hood
and which one is it

It would not be a fuse as the motor runs both wipers. Check to see if the wiper arm has come loose from the spindle.

Okay! Thank you. If its come undone how would I go about fixing it I dont hear grinding or anything.

Maybe the nut came off or the arm stripped out. The other possibility is that the linkage came loose.

For what? Why am I dumb? Bc I am unsure on something so I ask? You're a pretty big jerk.

Ignore the smuck. He is a troll that pops up from time to time. You can use the report button if you like.

He seems to be a lonely sad one.. We've stopped at a gas station and were going to check it 9out. Hopefully it's a easy fix bc were in Missouri and nothing is open here lol.we have 2 days drive yet

My Idea, Chances are the plastic linkage bushing came loose or broke. On most of the ones I have dealt with it was the bushing, problem is they are somewhat hard to put on and not easy to get to. If you find this to be the case then auto zone or O'Reilly have the parts in the help section. You can use a channel lock pliers or vice grips to squeeze them into place. My idea Hope it helps. I would just park it and take cabs and not waste my honeymoon time on that as I would want to be doing other things!!!

Wow, Sorry. I didn't see that you were driving on a trip. But I still think it may be the bushing and maybe you can get to it. I am in Athens Al. If you were close to me I would fix it for you at no charge. you just buy the part.
