What is the Wiper Gearbox all about?

Your windshield wipers remove water, snow and other impediments, allowing you to see the road ahead clearly. Windshield wiper systems require linkages and a gearbox to drive them at the preset rate (intermittent, low, high, etc.). It is generally located at the base of the windshield, under the hood and the cowling. The gearbox is directly connected to the wiper arm linkage that causes the windshield wiper pivots to turn and wipe the window. The gears inside the gearbox are subject to wear, though the usual failure is due to operation with excess weight on the wiper arms such as snow. This causes the internal gears to bind, bend or strip.

Keep in mind:

  • Once a gearbox sees significant wear, wipers will not function optimally and eventually stop working altogether.
  • Replacing the wiper blades is a good idea anytime a wiper system component needs repair.

How it's done:

  • The wiper arms are removed from the wiper gear box
  • The cowl is removed to access the wiper gear box
  • The defective wiper gear box is removed and the new one installed
  • The cowl is reinstalled and the wiper arms are installed onto the gear box
  • The wipers are tested to work in all positions

Our recommendation:

The wiper gearbox is a sealed system and cannot be serviced in most instances. When it malfunctions or show signs of failure, replacement is necessary. Have one of our expert mechanics look at it to ensure a smooth replacement and to professionally inspect wiper arm linkages and other system components.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Wiper Gearbox?

  • Windshield wipers operate intermittently or not at all
  • Wiper speed is inaccurate or inconsistent

How important is this service?

Because your windshield wipers are responsible for ensuring a clear view of the road during inclement weather, it’s important to have the wiper gearbox replaced when wear and tear begins to take a toll. We recommend having the problem first diagnosed by one of our expert mechanics, who will determine if the issue is the switch, the gearbox, or the relay, and inspect the rest of the wiper system (including linkages and wiper arms).

Saturn Ion L4-2.2L - Brakes, Steering and Suspension Inspection - Denver, Colorado
My experience today with Wes was very positive. He called me 30 minutes prior to my appointment to advise he was collecting the parts and then on his way to my home. He arrived for the appointment and introduced himself and then immediately jumped in to the work. I contracted him to repair a mirror on my car and replace my rear brake pads, which I had been informed by the mechanics at my usual oil place were in need of replacing. Now he could not repair my mirror; this is not his fault and I was aware of this prior to his arrival. The YourMechanic central office had called me yesterday, and followed up with me today, to advise that the only supplier of the mirror was the authorized Saturn dealership and they have ordered the part but that arrival is expected for this Thursday/Friday. Therefore I find no fault here as parts issues are outside their control (more so because I scheduled this appointment on Saturday). Regarding the brakes, shortly after taking off my tires Wes noted something important and had me come look, comparing the replacement brake pads with the existing ones. He advised that my rear brakes were easily at 50% life not the 30% or less that my oil guys claimed! So I asked him to check the front pads please in case they had meant that THOSE were what were in need of replacement. He put things back, checked the front, and then called me again. Handed back the keys and advised my front pads were in better shape than the rear! His honesty was refreshing & appreciated, his demeanor was professional, and the service as a result was exactly what I want from any service, auto or otherwise. He'll be back on Friday once my replacement mirror has arrived. I look forward to working with him again and I will likely continue to use YourMechanic and recommend it to friends who do not already have a preferred mechanic.

Loved him. Knew what he was doing. Quickly found out what was wrong even though it wasn't a common issue. Was more concerned about saving me money than about making money. Totally trust him and that's hard to find.
