Help required please!

The drivers side window wiper on my is250 has stopped working. I’ve removed the arm and noticed no movement whatsoever so I’m thinking maybe it’s the linkage? Is this something that can be adjusted or does it require new linkage and is it easy to do yourself?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried tightening the nut on the wiper? May of come loose, not herd of linkages going.

It was already fairly tight so I didn’t bother but I might give it a go later!

If the have got wiper arm completely off and now you are looking at spline shaft and if no movement in this shaft when other side is moving then yes a linkage problem and very rare!

Yes sounds like it.

Ah I see! I’m guessing it will require new linkage then!

Not necessarily sometimes it can just be a ball joint cup that has popped off the ball so worth checking.
