How do you fix the windshield wipers? One night I was driving home and I went to flip them on and they didnt budge.... How and where do I fix this?

Thanks.

I had the same problem with my bronco. I had to replace the wiper motor which cost $70 (-core return). I would check the fuse first. If that is OK, then turn the wiper control on the steering column. If you hear a clicking noise, but no movement from the blades then the motor is bad. It is a real pain in the ass to replace. You have to take off the entire top (cowel?) off the hood along with the windshield molding and all the screws. There is a small opening to disconnect the motor from the wiper mechnanism, don't loose the retaining clip! Yo can't find them anywhere. I would connect the new motor and see if it works before going through the hassle of reconnecting everthing only to find out it was not the motor.

Good Luck! b-(
