Item and Function	Failure Mode	Effects of Failure
Motor Connection Link Rigid bar that transmits rotational power from the motor to Link LN3	Loose connection	Little or no mechanical power transmitted to Link LN3
Rubber Connections Attaches to connection links	Corrosion	Doesn't connect other links and fails to transmit power to links
Rubber Thermal Mount Protects "Rigid Subassembly" and allows for mounting	Corrosion	Does not mount properly in car; Fails to rotate the wiper arm
Hose Transmits wiper fluid	Holes	Cause wiper fluid to leak and not reach the nozzle
Nozzle Sprays wiper fluid	Chipping or breaking	Will not spray the wiper fluid onto the window
Spring Connector Ensures that spring is in place	Chipping or breaking	Does not secure spring thereby letting the wiper arms move away from the windshield
