Either way, you'll need to remove the motor/mechanism to test
There's a guide...
Both. Clearly...There's only one motor to work both wipers
Ok. Which side is the motor attached too? Drivers or passenger wiper? Cheers.

Refitted correct way up? although almost impossible to get wrong...
Plug refitted fully?
Not much else to go wrong with it ;y
Yes. In a word.Full load for a Desmond saloon is 36/42... Which is significantly higher than 32...Pumping them up higher won't improve handling, in fact quite the opposite. However, its a necessary evil to protect the tyre.
This is your most likely problem, although tired shocks won't help matters...
My CDX has extra load tyres all around. I rarely carry anything & it is normally only me in the car. Have put the fronts to 32psi & the rear to 34psi, as recommended in the thread. Car feels more stable & better traction. Does a higher psi help fuel consumption in urban driving?
At the correct pressures, (full load pressures even more so), the tyre circumference and profile remains more stable, reducing rotational drag. The trade off however at full load pressure, is that unless the car is carrying some weight, the centre of the tread will wear more quickly.

hi. you have ball joints on the end of the arms that see nothing but rubbish from the road. good greasing with spray grease is good. th motor will need a strip down though.
you need to remove the wiper arms and then the plastic panel underneath. 2-3 torques bit screws. place on n/s due to washer pipe.
4 x 8 mm bolts and an electrical connection(easily removed) and it will need a bit of tenderness towards the o/s to pull off the pin(you will see it at the back of the motor on a rubber) and then will come free.. easier than it sounds. then strip and lubricate.
Very easy to do. sounds harder than it is. I did mine when i changed the heater control valve. did the valve and the wiper system in under 3 hours....
Maybe the first thing i would do is lubricate the arms. when i did my heat exchanger valve i was very surprised to find how dry they were.
good place to start before thinking of the motor which in the past i have lubricated many and found they worked much better as the manufacturer does not want them to last so do not offer much lubrication from new.
Hope this helps..
Try a reset as per handbook/guide
