COMPONENT TESTS
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
NOTE: For headlight washer switch testing on Montero,
see STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article.
WASHER MOTOR TEST (FRONT & REAR)
1) Ensure washer reservoir fluid is at proper level. Turn
ignition switch to ON position. Press washer button on wiper/washer
switch. If fluid does not spray on windshield, turn ignition off.
Check for plugged washer hoses from washer reservoir to windshield
nozzle. Repair as necessary.
2) If washer hoses are not plugged, disconnect washer motor
electrical connector. Check for poor connection or connector damage.
Repair as necessary. If connector is okay, connect battery power to
washer motor terminals. Washer motor should operate. Replace motor as
necessary.
FRONT WIPER MOTOR TEST
Checking Wiper Motor Operation
Disconnect wiring connector from wiper motor. Connect battery
voltage to wiper motor connector as shown, and ensure wiper motor
operates at low and high speeds. See Fig. 1 or 2. Replace motor as
necessary.
Checking Automatic Stop
1) Operate wiper motor at low speed. See Fig. 1 or 2.
Disconnect battery voltage during operation to stop motor.
2) Using a jumper wire, connect terminals as shown. See
Fig. 1 or 2. Connect 12 volts to indicated terminal, and ground wiper
motor bracket. Ensure wiper arm is correctly parked. Replace motor as
necessary.
