- Test front wiper motor. See WIPER MOTOR under COMPONENT TESTS. Replace wiper motor as necessary. If wiper motor is okay, go to next step.
- Disconnect Front Wiper/Washer Amplifier (FWWA) 6-pin connector and wiper motor connector. Measure resistance of Red wire between FWWA wiring harness 6-pin connector and wiper motor wiring harness connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Red wire.
- Measure resistance of Black wire between ground and wiper motor wiring harness connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace FWWA. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Black wire.
