What would cause windshield wipers to stop working on a 95 intrepid?

My windshield wipers stopped working. I changed the fuse. I can hear the motor but they do not go. What would be the cause? If it is the motor are they expensive for this type of car to replace?

Looking at the front of your car, behind the hood, is a strip of metal fitted there called a cowl. What you need to do is remove this. I can't remember on that car, but I think its on with screws. Regardless though, it needs to come off. Then turn your wipers on. Look down under where the cowl was. Make sure your motor is running. Make sure the arm coming from the motor is moving. If the motor is running but the arm is not moving, then the attached gearbox is bad. If the arm is moving, then make sure all of the linkage is attached and working properly.



From my experience, it's more than likely some of the linkage has done come loose. Sometimes all that is needed is to snap it back in where it goes. Sometimes a plastic keeper may have o be replaced. Anyway, you just have to get in there and take a looksee at what the problem is.

there are gears inside the motor boxes for wipers and if they are bad its a little spendy and since its a dodge the gears are nylon plastic type and break really easy
Replace the motor.I do not the price.
