How do you change windshield wipers on a Ford Taurus?

To change the windshield wipers on a Ford Taurus, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by turning the vehicle key to the “on” position, with the engine off, and turn on the wipers. Then, turn off the ignition when the blades are in a vertical position on the windshield, so that they are easily accessible.
2. Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks into a raised position. This will give you better access to the wiper blade.
3. Locate the release tab or button on the wiper blade. Press the tab or button and then tilt or slide the old wiper blade off the wiper arm. Different wiper manufacturers may use different attachment styles, so be sure to check for any specific instructions for your Ford Taurus model.
4. Once the old wiper blade is removed, align the new wiper blade with the wiper arm. Make sure the hook or attachment mechanism on the wiper blade matches the wiper arm.
5. Push the new wiper blade onto the wiper arm until you hear or feel it click into place. Ensure that it is securely attached.
6. Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield.
7. Repeat the process for the other wiper blade, if necessary.
Remember, it’s important to regularly check and replace your windshield wipers to ensure optimal visibility and safety while driving. If you’re unsure about the specific steps for your Ford Taurus model, you can refer to the vehicle’s owner’s manual or consult a professional mechanic for assistance.
