Wipers Run With Switch Off

  1. Inspect wiper motor and WCM connectors. WCM is located at fuse block. Repair connections as necessary and retest system. If connections are okay, go to next step.
  2. Unplug wiper motor. Turn wiper switch off. At harness connector, check continuity between Black/Pink wire and Dark Blue/Orange wire terminals, and between Yellow/Red wire and Black wire terminals. If continuity does not exist for either pair of wires, go to next step. If wires are okay, replace wiper motor.
  3. Check continuity of Black/Pink wire, Yellow/Red wire and Dark Blue/Orange wire between wiper motor and WCM. Check Black wire for continuity to ground. Repair open wire(s) as necessary. If wires are okay, go to next step.
  4. Disconnect WCM. With wiper switch off, measure resistance between Orange wire and Brown/White wire terminals of WCM connector. If resistance is 45-50 k/ohms, replace WCM. If resistance is not as specified, go to next step.
  5. Disconnect wiper switch. Measure resistance between Orange wire and Brown/White wire terminals of wiper switch connector. If resistance is 45-50 k/ohms, test wiper switch. See WIPER SWITCH CONTINUITY TEST  . If resistance is not as specified, check for open Orange wire or Brown/White wire between wiper switch and WCM.
