Having a front wiper problem is not uncommon. It is even one of the most common malfunctions, and not just on Smart Crossblades. Windshield wipers have become consumable because they wear out quickly and are easy to change . But the malfunctions can be quite different, and the causes will therefore vary. It can come from broom , engine , or a electric problem to name just that. So we will find out the most common symptoms, and how to fix them.
Complete failure of the front wiper of your Smart Crossblade
The problem is undoubtedly the engine of your front wiper. If you want to be sure, you will need to measure the electrical current on the wiper motor. However, this is a precaution that is not absolutely essential. The failure is certainly from the engine. In this case, you must obtain a new motor, compatible with your Smart Crossblade . It is also plausible that the problem comes from broom training . In this case, activate it manually. If the latter moves on its axis without problem, it means that it does not show any problem.
The front wiper of your Smart Crossblade is noisy
A noisy front wiper on a Smart Crossblade is not a serious problem, but it is quickly annoying. If you ever see a shrill noise is that it comes from the wear of the rubber blade of the broom. As if you were walking on your dry windshield. In this case it will probably have to be changed. In case it is a squeaky noise , it is certainly the training which is slightly seized. In this case, all you need to do is oil it, and the problem will be solved.
Smart Crossblade front wipers are not moving at the right speed
This time it's a problem that can be dangerous, especially during heavy rain and the front wipers turn out to be particularly slow. For comparison, at maximum speed, the speed is about one round trip per second. If they are actually slower, there can be many reasons. But there is a strong probability that it is the engine which is in question. You can always dismantle components to distinguish what is holding back the mechanism. Be careful not to scratch your windshield. It is also possible that the state of wear of the brush slows down the operation. In this case, you just need to change the brushes .
