Might be just the wiper arm retaining nut has loosened and the spindle is turning but not moving the wiper. If that isn't the cause a connecting rod has probably detached from the linkage which usually needs some trim removal for access and sometimes more...
as far as the wipers go, it sounds like it's just a loose nut that holds each wiper arm on. the AC problem sounds like a poor alternator and battery. you should replace your battery, then test the alternator. keep the engine running between 1000 and 2000 rpm and turn on every accessory in the car. radio, headlights, high beams, hazards, ac on high, rear defroster, everything. and read the voltage at the battery. if it dips below about 12.5v dc, replace the alternator. and if you've got an aftermarket stereo with an amp and subs, get a deep cycle battery and try to find an alternator with a higher output.
Sounds like the distributor. But you may have a faulty replacement coil..get an exchange and see if it is faulty. I have received many replacement parts that fail prematurely.
Hi
Try to jump start the car.
Put the jump leads on and leave it for 10 mins
that will charge the battery up
then try and start.
Also check the starter motor.
The wiper phenomenon you described is normal. It's a really cool feature. The car knows that you're moving so the wipers adjust to your speed.
The headlights and radio light problems you described is probably a bad battery. I didn't know about it either until I took my 07 CRV for it's 15k mile maintenance and they tested the battery. They said the battery was defective and wasn't putting out enough power so they gave me a new battery. Since it was under warranty, it didn't cost me anything.
first you need to make 100% sure it isnt the battery .when you park it for the night take your battery cables off and leave them off until the next day.when you go to start it put them back on and if it starts up then its probably not a battery issue.(some batteries get weak and will not hold a charge overnight). if it starts then its probably a short in your wireing.also when you put the cables back on listen for a crackling poping sounds as you putting the cables back on the battery.a good indicator thats there a short in your system.i hope this helps thanks jeff
help!
