I have a 2013 Durango Crew. I have been experiencing an issue where my wiper blades stop working with the smallest amount of snow build-up under the blades. Is anyone else experiencing this problem as well?

 

Can you be a little more specific? "Stop working" as in the wipers don't go back and forth any more...or "stop working" as in the rain-sensor doesn't work...or "stop working" as in you get streaks on your windshield? Help us help you by providing just a little more information.

 

If you are using aftermarket solid beam wipers you will get a streaking problem due to the curvature of the glass.

You need to use traditional flex beam wipers which can better conform to the glass for greater wiping.

 

sounds like a bum wiper motor.

 

Stop working as in won't go back and forth at all until I get out and clear every bit of snow under the wipers. They have replaced both my mother board and wiper motor and still does it. I don't have the auto wipe sensor setting on my car. Nothing is after market.

 

They have replaced the mother board and wiper motor only 6 weeks ago in my car at yhe dealership. QUOTE=ufokillerz;3219224]sounds like a bum wiper motor.[/QUOTE]

 

I found this little tidbit of info, still digging for an inhibit mode for obstructions. Things are always being added and changed these days.


****Low Ambient Temperature - When the ambient temperature is below 0° C (32° F), the automatic wipers will not operate during a new ignition cycle until the wiper switch has been moved to a different position than that which was selected at the moment the current ignition cycle began, or until a vehicle speed input is detected.*******

 

I didn't know that - that obviously is the safety feature to prevent frozen wipers from burning the motor. Not a bad idea.
