Having a front wiper problem is not uncommon. It is also one of the most frequent malfunctions, and not only on the Toyota Starlet. Windshield wipers have become consumables because they deteriorate quickly and are simple to change . But the malfunctions can be quite different, and the reasons will therefore vary. It can arise from broom , engine , or a electric problem among others. We will therefore discover the most frequent symptoms, then how to alleviate them.
Complete failure of the front wiper of your Toyota Starlet
The problem must be the engine of your front wiper. If you want to check it, you must measure the electrical current at the input of the wiper motor. But it is a precaution that is not absolutely mandatory. The failure is probably due to the engine. In this case, you will have to buy a new engine, suitable for your Toyota Starlet . It's also plausible that the problem stems from broom training . In this case, activate it manually. If the latter moves on its pivot perfectly, it is because it presents no problem.
The front wiper of your Toyota Starlet is noisy
A noisy front wiper on a Toyota Starlet is not a serious problem, but it is quickly annoying. If you see a shrill noise is that it must come from the wear of the rubber blade of the broom. As if you were running it on your dry windshield. In this case, you should probably change it. If it is a squeaky noise , it’s probably the training that’s a bit seized. In this case, you just need to lubricate it, and the problem will be solved.
Toyota Starlet's front wipers don't go 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 abnormally slow. For comparison, at maximum speed, the speed is approximately one round trip per second. If they are indeed much slower, the reasons could be multiple. But there is a strong probability that it is the engine that is the cause. You can always remove components to see what slows the mechanism down. Be careful not to scratch the windshield. It is also conceivable that the state of wear of the brush slows down the mechanism. In this case, you just need to change the brushes .
