Almost dead wipers 850

Hi everyone,

I did not used my wipers for the last 2 weeks and when I need them
(sudden thundershower), they start moving from the home position
very very slowly to finally stop in the middle of the windshield.
They will move a bit (1/8 " approx) only when I engage the wiper
switch or going from the slow to high speed and vice versa.

Does someone knows where to start my troubleshooting?

Thx a bunch

check the nuts that attach the wiper arms if they are loose this can happen.

Hi Daniel,

The nuts that attach the wiper arm ass'y wasn't loose BUT the shaft on
driver side was all corroded. Took the whole ass'y apart, cleaned and
greased it and it's working better than before! It's a lot more quiet
and a little bit more faster. An inexpensive fix.
