I've recently been under my dash working on the A/C and installing a heater box and needed to disconnect the things on the steering column like the windshield wipers. Well today after reconnecting everything I tried them out and nothing. The wiper fluid works (albeit poorly and only on the driver's side). I need to take a better look to see if I knocked loose a connection while banging around under there, but thought someone out there may have a suggestion on where to first look. This also raises the question of ability. The wipers always seemed really weak. Is there a replacement motor out there that would work better than the old stock? Or some modification to improve them? Also, it seems the little nozzles for the wiper fluid or the hose is freezing up which is blocking the flow to the windshield any solutions here? I've got the dash off, so now's a good time to tackle these things.
