1991 Eagle Summit Hatchback Windshield Wipers

Hi all I have a 91 Eagle Summit Hatchback and the wipers just stopped
working.....I checked the fuse and it's good and when i got home i
turned off the engine and switched the key to acc position and i can
hear the motor working so can someone tell me what might have
happened? Please and how i can fix it.

Thanks,

Gyspyangel

Link arm has popped off the wiper motor crank ball, most likely.

Need to replace the whole arm, as the nylon insert is surely not available
alone.

Would you know where I might get that piece and how to access it?
Thanks

I'm not familiar with your model, but wiper linkages are pretty much
universally inside the cowl at the base of the windshield. There is a
molding or body sheet metal part covering the cowl. This must be removed
for access to the wiper linkage.

The part is almost certainly dealer-only. It shouldn't be that expensive,
less than $50 or so.
