Motor Will Not Operate In Some or All Switch Positions

1. Check fuse fifteen in fuse block:
a. If fuse is OK proceed to next step.
b. If fuse is bad, replace, then check wiper functions in all switch positions. If fuse blows again proceed to voltmeter test step below.
c. If replaced fuse does not blow and motor does not run, proceed to next step.

2. Disconnect motor connector, perform the following tests:
a. Connect jumper wire from battery negative terminal to motor ground strap.
b. Connect jumper wire from battery positive terminal to pin two of connector, then move jumper wire from battery positive terminal to pin one of connector.

c. If motor runs OK, check wiring circuits, and wiper switch as outlined under "Component Diagnosis & Testing."
d. If motor does not run, proceed to next step.
3. Using a suitable ohmmeter, check ground strap at motor as follows:
a. If ground strap is OK, replace motor.
b. If not OK, repair ground as necessary.

4. Using a suitable ohmmeter, check continuity from terminal E of wiper switch, to ground:
a. If OK, proceed to next step.

b. If not OK, repair wiring circuit to ground.
5. Using a suitable voltmeter, with wiper switch connected:
a. Connect voltmeter positive lead to terminal P1, and negative lead to motor ground.
b. If no voltage, repair wiring circuits as necessary.
c. If voltage is OK, connect voltmeter positive lead to wiper switch terminal L, then move switch to low speed position. If no voltage replace switch.
d. Repeat above test for wiper switch terminal H.
e. If all tests OK, proceed to next step.
6. Disconnect motor connector, then replace fuse fifteen in fuse block:
a. If fuse does not blow, replace motor.
b. If fuse blows, disconnect wiper switch and replace fuse fifteen in fuse block.
c. If fuse does not blow replace switch.
d. If fuse blows, check and repair wiring circuits, as necessary.
