Did you review the Wiper/Washer Diagnostic System Check?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Wiper/Washer

Verify the fault is present.

Does the system operate normally?

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

While the windshield wiper/washer system is in the automatic mode does the wiper motor operate at continuous delay intervals?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 4

1. Turn ON the ignition.
2. Operate the windshield wiper/washer switch from the OFF position through all of the delay positions.

Does the wiper motor cycle once and stop every time the switch is advanced to the next delay position?

Go to Step 11

Go to Wipers Inoperative - One or More Modes

1. Disconnect the moisture sensor connector.
2. Connect a test lamp from the accessory voltage supply circuit terminal in the harness connector to a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 9

Connect a test lamp from the accessory voltage supply circuit terminal to the ground circuit terminal in the moisture sensor harness connector.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 10

Test the moisture sensor signal 1 circuit for an open, short to ground, or short to battery positive voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?
