Any ideas what I need fixed? I'm going to take it in to my local mechanic (or LR dealer, assuming they wont gouge me).

Wipers worked one day, now they wont run at all. Help appreciated. I'm willing to buy a part online instead of getting ripped off

Thanks guys

 

they will rape you. dont go to the dealer. where are you located?

Every once in a while the wiper blades will fail to work. First pop the plastic trim off the base of the wiper arm. Use a 13mm socket to make sure the nut is tight, holding the arm to the operating bolt. Most of the time this is the problem. If one arm is moving and the other isn't make sure the one that is not moving is tight. If both are tight and only one or neither is moving you have damaged the wiper motor cross member or the motor. Do you hear the motor trying to operate? If you need replacement, your best bet is to buy a used one off someone parting out a vehicle or one of our trusted parts guys like Will Tillery www.roverguy.com or Paul Grant paulgrant@mac.com . New will run you $180 for the entire assembly.
