I have a 93 toyota pickup truck 4wd n the windshield wipers quit workin when I tried to remove some snow moved only a couple of inches then stopped n haven't worked some. No noise is comin from the wiper motor. Any suggestions what It could be?

I think you might have answered your own question? If you have a leaky radiator, you should probably look into getting a new radiator soon since it's not going to get any better. Don't use any of that sloppy stop-a-leak stuff since it will also stop up your hoses, water pump, etc.

Or do you mean that you have a coolant leak somewhere and the radiator is loosing coolant? In that case you'll want a pressure test done to figure out where the leak is, the shop I have a relationship with will normally do it for $25 when I bring it in for an oil change (yes I do my own repairs but don't change my own oil, don't judge ).

Yes I mean I meant I have a coolant leak n the radiator is loosing coolant. So all I do is pull it out n take it to have a pressure test? 👌

Lol ag gamefreak not doong your own oil changes. Im judging you!

No... dont pull out

Seriously tho... ya dont pull the radiator out, take the vehicle to a shop that can pressure test the system to find out where the leak is... Lots of places it could be leaking....

You could try poking around and looking at every large hose in your engine bay if you want, you might see a trail of white crusty dried up anti-freeze that will indicate which hose is leaking. But there might be multiple leaks, or be leaking from hoses that are ridiculously hard to get to!


Or yes, leave it in for a pressure test. Just drive it to a shop you trust and they'll do the rest.




Why man... why...

Do you have white smoke coming from the tail pipe? If so, a water jacket in the head may have rusted through. This happened on my 91 toyota pu. I did a pressure test with my stant pressure tester and it did not find that. I pulled the spark plugs and found that my #4 spark plug was extreamly clean. You may want to try looking at them first. I pulled the head off and had it tested. They confirmed my findings with a pressure test of the head.

I've only seen the white smoke twice n that's the only time i seem it.

Pull all the spark plugs out and compare them. If one appears to be really clean, then you may have this problem like i did. I had to buy a new head for my pu.
