My windshield wiper appeared to be struggling yesterday during a rain storm. It started to slow down until it was no longer working. I've checked all the fuses and they are all fine. I'm guessing the windshield wiper motor needs to be replaced. Thoughts...?
If so, is this something that can be done easily on this car? Should I order a used motor? Or is there a honda motor that I can use in its place?
Thanks for the help.

make sure the motor is actually dead. turn the wiper switch on and listen by wiper arm to make sure,sometimes it could just be a loose linkage or nut.
if its dead,replace it.if you wanna get a used part,its at your own risk.there's no warranty or estimated life span.
