Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

To begin, this problem is probably all my fault when I stupidly tried running the wipers with a sheet of ice on the windshield thinking it wouldn't be a problem since my truck has always been fine.

If you haven't ground the splines in the arms away completely, tightening with a 13mm socket may restore you to functional.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'll start off with the link to a video I took of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNG9c7-wCD4 To begin, this problem is probably all my fault when I stupidly tried running the wipers with a sheet of ice on the windshield thinking it wouldn't be a problem since my truck has always been fine. But now we get the problem shown in the video. The wipers try to turn but will only move an inch and no more. If I push it up it'll go up and come back down but will continue on with this problem. You can kind of see the linkages moving how I'm assuming is properly but slipping or something at the shaft that holds the wiper arm. Has anyone run into a similar issue? Does anyone have pictures of the wiper motor mechanism. I might open it all up and see what's up but wanted to get an idea of what I'm going into first.

POST 2Original post

The good news is that the part that was designed to break if the blades were bound up broke, so the motor and mechanism is intact; the bad news is that you need two new wiper arms. You COULD do something terrible like pack the space around the nut with JB weld - but then you'd be defeating the safety device that prevented damage to the motor and mechanism in the first place...

If 5CHN3LL is right.....here is some: http://www.ebay.com/itm/02-Carrera-4...item463f540f4f http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-Carrera-9...item419093f364 Doesn't look like too expensive of a mistake.

Excellent. Well not so excellent but at least I won't have to shell out so much for new motors, lot cheaper for those arms. Maybe I'll look into doing that single wiper conversion I had thought about... Thanks for the help so quickly

POST 5Original post

The shafts are tapered. If you haven't ground the splines in the arms away completely, tightening with a 13mm socket may restore you to functional.
