Its great how you take me so seriously.

Like ryan said, rain x helps a ton.. not sure why your wipers suddenly got a mind of their own.

 

[Alberto521]

But it surprises me, i mean, it is a Honda, they supposed to last for ever... right?

And I looked some s**t up, something about "wiper motor" but dude, thats like $80... i dont have money for that s**t.

 

[ryanM]

then leave your fuse out until it starts raining again then put it back in.

i'm 99% positive its not the wiper motor.

its wiring.

 

[hkt03]

Hondas last a long time but not without having multiple issues. Mines creeping up to 100k miles, I'm sure the little nuisances will start soon too

 

[Alberto521]

s**t, i got just under 100k.

So it is wiring?

I know, im a noob, but, where can i get that fixd?

 

[ryanM]

a dealership can do it...

but if you dont have 80 bucks to replace a wiper motor, you DEFINITELY dont have enough to pay a dealership $100+ an hour to diagnose and fix the problem.

 

[Alberto521]

f**k me...

damn, maybe i should look around Aurora, see any mexican mechanics, they cheap and good.
lol

 

[somejaykid]

yeah you can do that too

 

[boosted to 26ps]

your a mechanic i didn't know that and op to the site, what they say man check the weather strips

I've always have been a mechanic. ever since 98, although I haven't worked in a shop for the past couple of years. would like to get into a dealership but haven't had any luck. even my ase certification and delphi certification are still valid, till 2011 then ill have to retest.

a project im doin for my buddy (cuz he's the definition of car stupid) is taking his 97 neon (automatic) and doing a srt swap in it. using the first gen neon manual trans. also doing a complete re-wire of the chassis using an srt harness and first gen connectors, also swapping out the dash, steering column, an front seats for the srt ones. but he didn't listen to me when I told him to buy a wrecked srt, instead he just bought the motor/trans/pcm/harness....so that's leaving me lookin for parts he still needs.

 

[ryanM]

^^ sounds like bad news

 

[boosted to 26ps]

^^^ not really, its what I like to do.its just a headache finding parts for it

 

[ryanM]

let me rephrase that

it sounds like a stupid idea.

 

[somejaykid]

sounds like alot of work to be done for that neon

 

[boosted to 26ps]

it sounds like it, but not really. the only thing that really going to be a lot is the wiring.

 

[hooked_on4]
