I am having an issue with my wipers lately and I can't find anything by searching the forum that helps. They are clunking, hesitating, and making a lound clunk when I turn them on. I have seen that there is a wiper moter and transmission so I am assuming it is the transmission as the wipers still work. Is there an easy way to tell and what simple things should I start with first? Could this just be a loose nut (on the wipers, not me)?

 

are they both in hesitation together or just random?

 

Both together. They will travel a little distance, clunk/ hesitate and continue.

 

I had the same problem (99 DII) and they also wouldn't always go back the park position. Had to replace the wiper assembly, I believe you can buy just the motor too, I just bought the whole assemply......pretty easy DIY....good luck (get the rave manual to show you how to do it)

 

I'd guess the crankarm off the motor/trans ***'y is coming loose.

Do they still park correctly? if not, my bet's the crankarm.


luck,greg

 

Yeah they park fine but I am willing to bet it will get worse. Is the crankarm something you can get individually or should I just get the whole assembly and be done with it?

 

This is like IM
I'm too lazy to look in rave, but Something tells me that it's accessable thru access panel in cowl

luck,greg

 

Yeah I've been to lazy to look at the rave myself but I guess that will be my next step.

 

loosen up the hood and slide the cowl off of there. lot easier then side posts
