Intermittent Wiper Relay Test

  1. Intermittent wiper relay is located at right rear corner of engine compartment. Turn ignition off. Disconnect relay harness connector and remove relay from retaining bracket.
  2. Using an ohmmeter, ensure continuity exists between relay terminals No. 3 and 5, then between terminals No. 2 and 4. See Fig 1 . Continuity should not exist between terminals No. 1 and 2.
  3. Using fused jumper wires, apply battery voltage and ground between relay coil terminals No. 3 and 6. Continuity should now exist between terminals No. 1 and 2. Ensure continuity does not exist between terminals No. 2 and 4. Replace relay if continuity is not as specified.
