Windshield Wiper Switch

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

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

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

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω 
  4. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 3 and the low reference terminal 1 with the low speed switch in the open position.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance 
  5. Test for the resistance values listed below between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the low reference circuit terminal 1 by cycling the switch between Delay 1 and Delay 5.
    • Delay 1 : 7.50-8.00kΩ
    • Delay 2 : 1.29-1.34kΩ
    • Delay 3 : 1.95-2.00kΩ
    • Delay 4 : 2.78-2.82kΩ
    • Delay 5 :3.84-3.90kΩ
    • If not within the resistance values listed 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • Go to next step: If within the resistance values listed 
  6. All OK
