Windshield wipers - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Okay, first off let me say that Zilvia.net has been the backbone of both my old sr'd s13 and my new S14.
Both have so much in common. especially the fact that when I replace something, another thing goes out, and on and on, which brings me to my next question in a line of questions, I'm sure.

My wipers went out (we just got issued a thunderstorm warning too

), as in they don't move across the windshield (for all those info specific pepulz), the fuse is good and I'm assuming it's the motor.

FSM shows the motor to be at the front right firewall....is this the windshield wiper motor or the wiper motor itself? I can't check right now because it's raining like a motherfawk.

Seems like god hates me. hahaha.

yes, the windshield wiper motor is bolted to the firewall. on the right side = passenger side. there is only one.

The windshield wiper fluid motor is attached to the fluid reservoir in your pass front wheel well, FYI

When mine went out, it was indeed the fuse. I checked everything, and the fuse wasen't even blown. What happened was the fuse was loose, therefore it wasen't touching the metal tabs all the way, just bent them in opposite directions and pushed it back in and all was fixed. So even if your fuse is good, make sure the metals are touching (Fuse is located in the kick panel on the drivers side, below the steering column on the left).
