Wipers Operate At Lo Speed; Switch In HI Position

  1. Turn ignition on. Connect a DVOM between Blue/Orange wire at wiper motor connector and ground. Set wiper/washer switch to HI position. Measure voltage. If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, replace wiper motor.
  2. Turn ignition to lock. Unplug combination switch connector C1. See Figure . Using a DVOM, check resistance between combination switch terminals No. 18 (Blue/White wire) and No. 13 (Blue/Orange wire). If resistance is greater than 5.0 ohms, replace combination switch. If resistance is less than 5.0 ohms, check for open in Blue/Orange wire between combination switch and wiper motor. Repair wire as necessary. If wire is okay, replace wiper motor. If resistance is more than 5.0 ohms, replace combination switch.
