- If zero volts is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is present, check for short to battery voltage in Gray wire. If wire is okay, replace wiper switch.
- Disconnect 3-pin connector from wiper motor. Measure voltage between chassis ground and terminal "A" (Purple wire) terminal of wiper motor 3-pin connector. See Figure . If zero volts is present, repair short to battery voltage in Yellow wire between wiper motor connectors.
- If battery voltage is present, check for short to battery voltage in Purple wire. If Purple wire is okay, replace wiper switch.
