Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 1 and the low reference terminal 2 with the high speed switch in the open position.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • If infinite resistance 
  3. Test for less than 2 Ω between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2 with the high speed switch in the closed position.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • If less than 2 Ω 
  4. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 3 and the low reference terminal 2 with the low speed switch in the open position.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • If infinite resistance 
  5. Verify the resistance readings are within the specified range listed below between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the low reference circuit terminal 1 by pushing the switch in the listed positions below.
    • Delay 1: 3.75-3.85 kΩ
    • Delay 2: 2.75-2.85 kΩ
    • Delay 3: 1.95-2.05 kΩ
    • Delay 4: 1.25-1.35 kΩ
    • Delay 5: 765-775 Ω
    • If not within the specified range 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • If within the specified range 
  6. All OK
