    '97 GT

    Had a new windshield installed on the GT a month ago and just learned that the wind shield wipers no longer are functioning when commanded. I was on work travel a lot so she wasn't getting driven. Anyways, there is absolutely no indication of the wiper motor is even getting a signal or trying to move (no motor humming or shuttering seen in the wipers). I tried to disassemble the wind shield air screen/vent but wasn't able to get the wiper arms of the posts. I'm planning on getting a pulley puller to remove. Also, the fuses all checked out and are good.

    Was wondering if anyone has this had this happen before and might know what the fix could be? I'm almost assuming the that the wiper motor got disconnected some how during the wind shield install.

    Any helps is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

    The only thing that should get removed for a windshield is the arms.

    Accessing the connector to check for power at the delay module pretty much requires loosening or removing the wiper trans assembly for access. The arms come right off with channel locks after the nut is removed, open them up and put one jaw on the end of the stud, the other under end of the arm and squeeze gently.
