2004 tundra windshield wipers don't move but motor runs
Turned the wipers on with too much snow on them and broke something. The motor runs but the wipers move only by hand with no resistence. Move one and the other moves.
It's like when I first turned them on they tried but sheared something

sounds like the linkage came unhooked under the hood. Sometimes you can just pop it back on other times if its broke you will have to install a new linkage.
If the washer fluid is not pumping and they're new, something isn't connected right. They're obviously not getting power. Either that or the pumps didn't work in the first place.
This is a bit of an awkward one on that car, but you have to remove the wiper arms, then remove the retaining nuts on the spindles, the wiper motor and get to the inner wiper control arms. There's a chance that one of the nylon cups which connect the control/drive arms has popped off and simply needs to be reconnected.
check the nuts on the wiper arms and make sure they are tight. If the nuts are tight then a linkage on the wiper transmission probably came loose or broke. You'll have to pull some cowling off to access it.
The windshield wiper circuit has an circuit breaker in it, under heavy load this breaker trips to protect the wiper motor, when the motor cools, the breaker resets automatically restoring proper wiper action.
You may have broken the linkage between the motor and the wiper shaft. This can happen when trying to activate the wipers with too much snow on the windshield.
Does the wiper motor run? If you can hear the wiper motor run, the wipers arms may have disconnected from the wiper motor,you will have to remove the wiper arms,and the plastic cover to access the wiper motor,and check for damaged parts.If your wiper motor does nothing at all, you probably blew a fuse do to the resistance on the arms,refer to your owners guide for fuse panel, and fuse locations. hope this helps
