Background info: A few days ago, the heater blower motor on my car seemingly broke, and my father was going to replace it today. He removed a panel to get to the motor and found that there was a mouse nest causing the problem, there was nothing wrong wtih the motor itself, he removed the mouse nest, problem solved. Also, I washed my car, refilled my windshield wiper fluid, and put in two quarts of oil several hours after this.
Driving to work immediately after my dad working on my car, my wipers worked fine, they were totally normal.
After work, I’m driving home, and I flip the little lever that sprays wiper fluid on the windshield and starts the wipers. All of a sudden, my wipers are working backwards. You know how when you shut your wipers off, they go down, pause for a minute, then sink into their resting positions? It was just like that, only instead of going down, pausing, and sinking into place, they go up, pause, and then move all the way up so they’re straight up and down. Hope I’m describing this well enough. Basically, they’re working fine, only in reverse.
Anyway, I’m going on a long car trip tomorrow, and this is going to annoy the hell out of me. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Is there anything simple that I can do myself in the morning to fix it before I leave?
