Can you change wiper blade arms?

The most likely cause is a burnt-out windshield wiper fuse in your vehicle’s fuse box. Locate the fuse and replace it with a functioning one, and your wipers should work again. If the problem isn’t the fuse, it could be your windshield wiper’s transmission. Take your vehicle to a mechanic to have it inspected.
