DIAGNOSING WINDSHIELD WIPERS
(1) Remove in-line circuit breaker near fuse block
and turn ignition switch to ACCESSORY or ON.²Measure voltage at battery side of circuit breaker
cavity. Meter should read battery voltage. If not, re-
pair wiring from ignition switch.
²Measure resistance across circuit breaker termi-
nals. Meter should read zero ohms. If not, replace
failed circuit breaker.
(2) Unplug wiper motor side wiring harness con-
nector from wiper switch side harness connector
(non-intermittent), or from intermittent wiper mod-
ule at base of steering column. Turn ignition switch
to ACCESSORY or ON.
²Measure voltage at unplugged wiper motor side
harness connector terminal D. Meter should read
battery voltage. If not, repair wiring from circuit
breaker.
²Turn ignition switch to OFF and measure resis-
tance from unplugged wiper motor side harness con-
nector terminal G to ground. Meter should read zero
ohms. If not, repair wiring to ground.
(3) Leave ignition switch in OFF, and back probe
wiring harness connector at wiper motor. Measure
resistance from terminal E of wiper motor side of
connector to ground. Meter should read zero ohms. If
not, repair wiring to ground.
(4) If equipped with intermittent wipers, turn igni-
tion switch to ACCESSORY or ON. Turn wiper
switch to LOW or HIGH. Unplug wiring harness con-
nector (wiper switch side) from intermittent wiper
module. Then plug both connectors that have been
removed from intermittent wiper module into each
other.

CAUTION: DO NOT move the wiper switch to DE-
LAY with the intermittent wiper module removed
from the circuit. If the switch is moved to the DE-
LAY position during the next step, the switch will
be damaged.
²Test wiper operation in LOW and HIGH speed
modes, and test washer operation. If these modes
were inoperative, but are OK now, replace failed in-
termittent wiper module.
(4) To test the wiper/washer switch, see Wiper
Switch Testing. Turn ignition switch to OFF. Posi-
tion the wiper switch as indicated, and back probe
switch side of wiper switch connector. If switch tests
OK, go to step 5. If not, replace switch and go to step
6.
(5) To further test the wiper/washer switch, turn
ignition switch to ACCESSORY or ON. Position the
wiper switch as indicated in the tests below, and
back probe switch side of wiper switch connector.
²Measure voltage at terminal E with wiper switch
in LOW, MIST and with washer switch depressed.
Meter should read battery voltage. If not, replace
switch.
²Measure voltage at connector terminal C with
wiper switch in HIGH. Meter should read battery
voltage. If not, replace switch.
²With wiper switch in LOW or HIGH, measure
voltage at connector terminal F, then move wiper
switch to OFF. Meter shold read battery voltage un-
til wipers park and then zero volts. If OK, go to step
6. If not, check wiring to wiper motor, then go to step
6.
(6) To test the wiper motor, turn the ignition
switch to ACCESSORY or ON. Position the wiper
switch and back probe the motor connector as indi-
cated.
²Wiper switch in any position, measure voltage at
terminal B. Meter should read battery voltage. If not,
repair wiring from circuit breaker.
²Wiper switch in LOW, measure voltage at termi-
nal A. Meter should read battery voltage. If OK, but
wipers do not operate, replace failed wiper motor. If
not, repair wiring from switch or intermittent wiper
module connector.
²Wiper switch in HIGH, measure voltage at termi-
nal H. Meter should read battery voltage. If OK, but
wipers do not operate, replace failed wiper motor. If
not, repair wiring from switch or intermittent wiper
module connector.
²Wiper switch in LOW or HIGH, voltmeter con-
nected to terminal D. Turn wiper switch to OFF and
observe meter. Meter should read battery voltage
when switch goes to OFF, then zero volts after wip-
ers park. If battery voltage is present, but wipers fail
to park; or, if no battery voltage present, replace
failed wiper motor.DIAGNOSING NON-INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD
WASHER
Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.

switch.
²Measure voltage at switch connector terminal B.
Meter should read battery voltage. If not, replace
wiper/washer switch.
²Measure voltage at washer pump connector termi-
nal A. Meter should read battery voltage. If OK, re-
place pump. If not, repair open between switch
connector and pump connector.
DIAGNOSING INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD
WASHER

wiper switch.
²Measure voltage at intermittent wipe module con-
nector terminal B (to washer pump). Meter should
read battery voltage. If not, replace intermittent
wipe module.
²Measure voltage at washer pump connector termi-
nal A. Meter should read battery voltage. If OK, re-
place pump. If not, repair open from intermittent
wipe module connector terminal B.
REAR WIPER ARM REPLACEMENT
(1) Install wiper arm remover, Snap On A192 or
equivalent, on wiper arm (Fig. 11). Lift arm and then
remove from pivot shaft.
CAUTION: Do not use a screwdriver or other prying
tool to remove an arm. This may distort it in a way
that will allow it to come off the pivot shaft in the
future, despite how carefully it is installed. NEVER
push or bend the spring clip in the base of the arm
in an attempt to release the arm. This clip is self re-
leasing.
(2) To install, reverse the removal procedure.
(3) Wet the window and check the park position by
operating the wiper motor several times.
