The winshield wipers on my wife's Accent stopped working yesterday. I looked on the net for some info and they said if their was no noise when I tried to turn them on than it was probably a bad fuse. What I couldn't find was how to check or change the fuse. Any ideas?
 
I had a problem with the wipers on my 2002 elantra. They slowed down and then stopped half way through their cycle and then wouldn't work after that.

I had to replace the wiper motor and linkage for about $500cdn :-/
 
You'll need to open the fuse box (left side under dash) and read the labels on the fuses. There's also a fuse box under the hood, I believe. To check the fuse, pull it out and see if there is a "wire" inside connecting the two blades. If the fuse is blown, the wire will have burned.

Also check your wiper arm nuts to be sure they're tight. Turning on wipers when the windshield is covered with snow/ice tends to make them come loose.

wiper fuse is the bottom left one in the fuse panel behind the door in the left kick panel. 15 A. It seems there is also a bimetallic themal overlaod from the way mine behaves. I had a problem with ice buildup keeping the wipers from going all the way home. Cooked off a couple of fuses and had the wiper going a little intermittently in the process of finding this. The last move was to change the fuse, clear the ice and it would not work but the wipers wnet all the way home. Wet in and came out later and tried wipers and they have worked fine since.
