1990 Wagoneer limited pass wiper not working
Well after finding out my floor/frame will be 300 to fix the ignition switch getting screwed up I drove home from work to find out my passenger side wiper is not working is this going to be hideously expensive or is it a disconnected linkage or something I might be able to fix my self. My jeep is really trying me I love driving it and the 4wd but I screamed at it driving home today for being ****ty.

The linkage is held in place by plastic bushings, that over time wear and can cause the linkage to pop off.
Rather inexpensive repair. That can be done yourself.
Bushing sets can be obtained at many autoparts stores.
The "HELP" stock section. Red card with big white HELP on them.
The number eludes me right now, but I am sure a quick search would yield it.
I posted the number sometime ago.
In any case, the repair....
Remove wiper arms.
Unscrew center cowl piece (phillips screws)
Underneath at each wiper arm base you will find 3 screws..remove.
Open hood...
(2) 10mm screws on firewall (to the right of booster)
These hold the motor assemble in.
Close hood.
Reach down inside cowl and unplug wire connector.
Carefully twist entire assembly, while pushing down on wiper arm bases.
Shift assembly towards passenger's side and lift....twist...push...curse....scream...twist...c urse some more.
Well, you get the picture.
Replacing the bushings in the arms will be quite self-explanitory.
Pushing the pins into the bushings requires a bit of muscle.
Change all of them while you're there.

I found it on the AutoZone website:
http://www.autozone.com/R,1093226/st...ductDetail.htm
There are 6 pure white ones, these are the ones you will need.
This is the HELP part number.
Print the page and make a run to your local A/Z (if you have one)
I do not know who else has these. I just know MY A/Z has them.
