"1991 Acura Integra Windshield Suddenly Stopped Working"

Red 1991 Acura Integra

I was driving my 1991 Acura Integra this morning, my windshield wipers were working just fine then all the sudden they stopped. I can hear the windshield motor running but nothing is moving. What can I do to fix it? And how much to get it fixed?

Answer: I think the shaft out of the wiper motor has splines to engage the wiper, they may be stripped. If you can rotate the wiper by hand easily this is the case requiring motor replacement. Happens sometimes in winter where the wiper freezes to the glass. Start the wiper and watch to see if the shaft is actually rotating. You might try another wiper blade assembly if there are enough spines to engage.
