Just bought a used 91 Honda Accord. Wipers were working but stopped. The fuse, swith and motor are ok. What could the problem be? Thanks

    I would check the wiper switch. Pretty common problem. One way to do a 'quick check' is to juggle it in the ON position and see if the wipers start to work at all. If they do, then the switch is defective.

    Good Luck!

    you'll need to take off the wiper motor cover. remove the motor and lip it over. you'll see that the plastic knuckle on the motor is broken and must be replaced.
