2005 Maxima
Sometimes windshield wipers turn on and it happens a lot more in warm weather. Everything else in the electrical system seems to be working find. The dealer wants to change something called IPDM and charge several hundred dollars which I am not ready to do. Any other ideas?
Windshield wipers turning on without warning especially when it's warm? I drive a 2005 Nissan Maxima. Help?
Let me check that circuit. Yes I would have to agree with your dealer. The IPDM is located on the right side of the motor compartment under that plastic cover and another plastic lid with the fuse designations on the side.. When the wipers are running wild with rap on the IPDM with a Screwdriver Handle. Nissan Shop Manual I looked at it appears that the switch inside just talks to a CPU inside the IPDM and that device turns on wipers washers with relays for each speed. IPDM powers lots of other remotely operated electrical devices. IPDM is retangle shaped 1 1/4 inch thick with about 20 fuses and 15 black relays and 6 power wire sockets with lots of wires each. IPDM has two catches on each side and pull straight up. Get one out of a wrecked car but you must know that the trim level on the wreck is the same SL to SL SE to SE and LE TO LE. Things like cornering lamps HID headlights auto sunroof ECT. Different on different trim level cars. Good Luck

Just either unplug the sensor that tells the wipers when to come on or try to see if you can remove the fuse for it.

Windshield Problem?
There's these hair line scratches where the windshield wipers go it was like that when i bought it is like someone waited to long to change the wiper blades. Is there any way i can get them off?
Windshield Problem?
If the scratches can easily catch your fingernail, then, no there's nothing that you can do at home that will solve your problem short of replacing the windshield.
If they're much lighter, try getting a glass scratch-remover/polishing kit. You'll do a lot more effective work if you have a dremel tool or a small buffing kit to work the material on the windshield, since hand-removing the scratches is hand-straining work.
When you get the kit, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER!!! If you don't, you can easily haze/etch your windshield. That being said, it's not that hard of a system to work with, and if you're meticulous, you can end up with a crystal clear windshield.
Windshield Problem?
Nope! need to replace the windshield.
It's nearly impossible to buff or polish those scratches out of the glass. You really only have the option of replacing the windshield. It's about $250-300 on most cars. You'll be amazed at the difference in how well you can see, though!
actually, you can try waxing the windshield with a high grade carnuba wax, and buff it repeatedly...
otherwise you're stuck with the scratches until you replace the windshield.
yes get a new windsheld or get some old glass you dont need eny more and melt then wen it is still hot and put it on the windsheld then even it out with ruler.
depending on how bad the scratches are you have a chance of getting rid of it. Sounds like your situation can be resolved. I had scratches from my wipers metal scrapping my windshield and not replacing them soon enough and it cause all sorts of scratches. I just use a good high quality car glass cleaner and wiped it down really good with newspaper and it went away and now it's as there was never any scratches at least that I can see. If that doesn't work you can try using this orange hand cleaners made to clean grease off dirty mechanic's hands. Use the pre moistened wipes or get a small amount of the paste and rub it into the cracks in a circular fashion and that should take care of any hairline scratches.

Ford windshield wipers ?
My friend has a 1992 ford tempo GL and asked me to change out the windshield wipers. I have no clue to change them and I need some help on this. She bought the Rainx 20 inch just like the guide on Rainx.com showed would fit her car. A step by step answer or guide would really be appreciated on this.

auto zone or advance will install them for free.

The next time you get gas, go to a full service station and ask one of the attendants. They will possible even put them on for you and show you how to do it in the future.
good luck

How do you turn on the speed sensitive wipers in a Cobalt?
My parents bought me a cobalt a few days ago, I've heard they have speed sensitive wipers that change the speed of the windshield wipers depending on how fast you go. How do you set it to that setting to do so?
THanks.
How do you turn on the speed sensitive wipers in a Cobalt?
There is no option for speed sensitive wiper system for the cobalt.There is a option for rain sensitive wipers on some of the newer model chevy trucks that turn on the wipers when the sensor on the windshield senses moisture.Most of the newer cars and trucks also have a option for speed compensated volume which has three settings to make the radio get louder the faster you drive.Most people find this option a waste of time.Best of luck with your cobalt.

Can anyone help me find windshield wipers for a 06 Pontiac G6, other than a dealer?
Dealers are charging $60.00 for wipers, and I think it's highway robbery, I've always changed my own, and bought from AutoZone or any corner auto store.
Can anyone help me find windshield wipers for a 06 Pontiac G6, other than a dealer?
I haven't seen a 2006 model, but am curious to know if the wiper as a whole (blade and holder) are removed by clip or screw, if it does at all.
If it does, then don't worry about changing the blade itself- just go get the whole assembly and replace it, using the fittings for larger clips.

I had the same problem. I ended up with one Trico and one Michelin from Walmart. The Michelins are a lot cheaper, but you can only find the 24%26quot; at Walmart with the proper connector. Both are good wipers and have lasted. I think when the Michelin wears out, I'll buy another Trico so they match.
Advanced auto carries 2 trico models for around $12
its almost impossible to find them cheaper than 30 dollars, the lowest i seen them was 32 dollars online. just google them to find a distributor onlinewww.myspaces.com Blankets

How to Change Wiper Arm(s) on 03 Grand Prix ?
How to replace wiper arm(s) on 03 Grand Prix?
Started the car yesterday, wipers working fine...within 2 min the driver wiper was hanging off the windshield and resting on the side mirror. I'm pretty sure the arm needs to be replaced, and am thinking its more or less a simple job. But want to make sure before I begin. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
How to Change Wiper Arm(s) on 03 Grand Prix ?
Flip the cover off at the base of the arm, put the arm in it's proper position and tighten the 13mm nut back down and stop turning your wipers on when they are frozen to the windshield.
