How to Wire a Windshield Wiper On a Blazer

Functional windshield wipers are important for safely driving your Blazer in the rain.

The windshield wipers on your Chevrolet Blazer are wired to the vehicle through an electrical connector at the base of the wiper assembly, next to the wiper motor and washer fluid reservoir. Connecting the wipers on your Blazer is an extremely simple task that only requires you to connect the electrical connector to the Blazer's wiring harness. It should not take you more than 10 minutes to wire your Blazer's windshield wipers.

Things You'll Need

• Socket wrench

Instructions

1. Turn off the engine of the Blazer and open the hood.

2. Remove the Blazer's negative terminal from its battery with a socket wrench. Close the hood.

3. Raise up the windshield wipers off the windshield in order to access the wiper motor and its connector.

4. Disconnect the washer fluid hose from the wipers. This will allow you to access the wiper's electrical connector.

5. Plug the connector into the wiring harness. If the connector makes a clicking sound, it is secured. If not, pull off the connector and try again. Once the connector is connected, reattach the washer fluid hose.

6. Lower the wipers and open the hood. Reconnect the battery with a socket wrench and close the hood.
