Wipers Operate At Low Speed With Front Wiper/Washer Switch In HI Position

  1. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Move front wiper/washer switch lever to HI position. Using a voltmeter, measure voltage between wiper motor harness connector terminal No. 2 (Blue/Red wire) and ground. If voltage is 10 volts or less, go to next step. If voltage is more than 10 volts, replace front wiper motor.
  2. Using test light, backprobe between front wiper motor connector terminal No. 3 (Blue wire) and ground. If test light does not illuminate, go to next step. If test light illuminates, replace combination switch.
  3. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect front wiper/washer switch connector (combination switch Natural 8-pin connector). Disconnect junction block Natural 10-pin connector (located behind left kick panel). See Fig 1. See JUNCTION BLOCK 10-PIN CONNECTOR TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION table.
  4. Using an ohmmeter, backprobe between junction block 10-pin connector terminal No. 8 (Yellow/Blue wire) and switch side of front wiper/washer switch connector terminal No. 1 (Blue/Red wire). If resistance is greater than 5.0 ohms, replace combination switch. If resistance is 5.0 ohms or less, check for high resistance in Blue/Red wire between front wiper/washer switch and front wiper motor. If wire is okay, replace wiper motor.
