Why aren’t my Honda CR-V windshield wipers working?

Yesterday it was raining, so naturally, I turned my windshield wipers on. They were working fine, but when I went to turn them on later in the day nothing happened. Do you know why my Honda CR-V windshield wipers aren’t working?

Sorry to hear about your Honda CR-V windshield wipers—that doesn’t sound fun. Wear and tear to your wipers is bound to happen over time, but you’ll want to make sure you resolve any issues that come up immediately.
Below are a few common reasons why your

CR-V windshield wipers may not be working:
  • Clogged spray nozzles
  • Torn blades
  • External interference (i.e. frozen ice or fluid)

  • Lose pivot joint
Most of these issues can be resolved through at-home troubleshooting. If you can’t diagnose the problem yourself, no sweat! We suggest taking your car to a mechanic—they’ll be able to inspect and diagnose the problem for a relatively cheap price.
