It is most likely your connection. If you have a multi meter check your power supply to the motor. If it has power replace the motor. Because it is bad.

My windshields wipers wont work

If that happens, your windshield wipers will not work at all and you won't be able to clear any water, dirt, or snow that ends up on your windshield. Replace the windshield wiper motor right away. The windshield wiper fuse is burnt out. When the windshield wiper motor is overloaded, the fuse burns out.23 Nov 2015

Windshield wipers wont work. My daughters wipers got iced to the windshield she tried to turn them on and only one moved. She noticed this turned them off, loosened the one that was stuck and now they...

hi by the sound of this you may have two problems firstly when the wipers froze to the screen and got switched on the linkage that links the wipers has probaly come off if your lucky you can probably pop it back on the other problem is that the fuse for the wipers has done its job and blown when they were stuck to the screen so needs to be replaced if you look in your handbook it should tell you the location of the fusbox and the type of fuse required

The windshield wipers wont go back into position

Hyundai uses plastic washers in their windshield wipers to prevent wiper transmission damage due to excessive force ie trying to use them when they are stuck to the windshield. There's a small hinged "cap" at the base of each wiper. Flip the cap up and using a pair of pliers, tighten down the bolts. Be careful not to overtighten them or risk doing damage to the washers. If this doesn't solve your problem, you may need to replace the washers beneath the nut that connects to the wiper transmission.

The windshield wipers are stuck vertically and now

This sounds like the wiper motor has failed. You can pick one up at the local parts store. If not mechnically savvy, I would recommend taking to shop for working in tight areas that these can be. But, otherwise, the motor is on the fire wall, unplug, remove screws(4), exchange with new, and reassemble as removed. I hope this helps.
