When i bought the car the wiper switch was removed so i replaced it hoping my windshield wipers would work but they dont and the rain just arrived so im kinda screwed.

When i hit the switch i can hear the motors turning, i looked at the motors and i tapped the box next to it and nothing changed.

When i move the wipers manually they dont move together. When i move the passenger side wiper i can see the arms under the windshield moving but when i move the drivier side wiper the arms dont move.Idk what it could be none of the other wiper threads have had my same problemthanks for any answers.

you need to remove the black vents under the wipers. they are linked together. most likely the links need to be reattached.

their are two bars that have to be connected. the first connects the motor to the arms. the second connects one arm to the other. The arms use a pivot ball type connection that can just pop off.
