Common issues with windshield wipers in the Chevy Equinox can include a blown fuse, faulty relay switch, or a damaged wiper motor. When troubleshooting, start by inspecting the fuse and wiper motor connections. Chevy was investigated by the federal government for a recall related to wipers unexpectedly stopping during operation. Users noted the motor continuing to run even when the wipers halted. If a replacement motor is necessary, the cost can range from $50 to $100 depending on whether it's an original manufacturer part or an aftermarket option.

    Make sure to start by inspecting the fuse. There are typically two fuse compartments to look for - one can be found under the hood, and the other is usually situated underneath the glove box on the right side of the vehicle.
