Component Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Cadillac SRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 4 and the low reference terminal 2 with the rear window washer switch in the open position.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • If infinite resistance 
  3. Verify the resistance reading is within the range specified below between the signal circuit terminal 4 and the low reference circuit terminal 2 by cycling the switch between Rear Wiper position and Rear Washers position.
    • Rear Wiper : 624-644Ω
    • Rear Wiper Sweep : 1.99-2.01kΩ
    • Rear Washer : 6.11-6.13kΩ
    • If not within range specified 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • If within range specified 
  4. All OK

Relay Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the KR7 Rear Wiper Relay.
  2. Test for 60-200 Ω between terminals 85 and 86.
    • If less than 60 or greater than 200 

      Replace the KR7 Rear Wiper Relay.

    • If between 60-200 Ω 
  3. Test for infinite resistance between the terminals listed below:
    • 30 and 86
    • 30 and 87
    • 30 and 85
    • 85 and 87
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the KR7 Rear Wiper Relay.

    • If infinite resistance 
  4. Install a 10 A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and 12 V. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground.
  5. Test for less than 10 Ω between terminals 30 and 87.
    • If 10 Ω or greater  

      Replace the KR7 Rear Wiper Relay.

    • If less than 10 Ω 
  6. All OK.
