  1. Connect test lamp between ground and motor terminal 2. If no power, check fuse and feed wire. If power is present, connect test lamp to terminal 1. If no power, replace park relay. If power is present at terminal 1, move wiper switch to "LO" and disconnect wiper plug from terminals 1, 2, 3.
  2. Connect test lamp between sockets in connector for terminals 1 and 2. If lamp does not light, check for open circuit in terminal 1 wire to switch, then check switch ground and switch. Place dash switch in "HIGH" position.
  3. Disconnect wiring from terminal 6. Connect one lead of test lamp to positive battery terminal or 12V source, and connect the other end to terminal 6 wire in connector. If no power, check for open in terminal 6 wire to switch and check switch. If power is present, remove washer pump cover and reconnect all wiring to motor.
