Problem overview

Some Oldsmobile Intrigue owners report experiencing issues with malfunctioning windshield wipers, including inconsistent movement and problems specifically on the driver side. These issues may be attributed to a faulty wiper motor, which can cause erratic operation. Additionally, damage to the wiper arm linkage can result in one wiper arm failing to function properly, leading to further inconsistencies. Loose nuts that secure the wiper arms to the linkage are another common concern, particularly if the wipers were activated while obstructed by snow or ice; tightening these nuts in the park position can help mitigate this issue. Furthermore, some owners encounter electrical problems, such as blown fuses, which can disrupt power to the wiper motor. To restore proper functionality, it is advisable for owners to inspect these potential issues, and if problems persist, seeking professional assistance may be necessary for effective diagnosis and resolution.
