Wipers Don't Work Properly

I have a 98 civic and there is something wrong with my wipers. My intermitents don't work, as well as when I spray washer fluid on the windsheild the wipers don't come on. All I have is low and high speed. Any suggestions on what the problem could be. It is very frustrating. Oh yeah one more thing, has anyone ever used drop zone coilovers, and if so what r your opinions about them.


Thanx guys.

Umm, before I switched to a CF hood, my wipers came on while I was spraying and stayed on for like 3 more swipes after stopping the spray.

I agree with you on the relay part. check those as well as fuses to see. get yourself a helms manual or something along those lines so you can trace the wires. also, BrandonClaps is the Guru of wiring so ask him as well and he can help with that.

I had a problem with my wipers a while ago. I took my car to the dealer and they replaced the wiper assembly. (defective, recall from Honda) Check with the dealership if your car is under warranty. Good Luck.
