Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather all necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent electrical shock.
  • Ensure the vehicle is on a stable surface and the wipers are in the "off" position.
2. Check and Replace the Wiper Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box; refer to the owner’s manual for the exact location.
  • Remove the cover of the fuse box and locate the wiper fuse.
  • Inspect the fuse: if it is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.
  • Reinstall the fuse box cover.
3. Inspect the Wiper Switch
  • Remove the steering column cover to access the wiper switch.
  • Disconnect the wiper switch harness.
  • Use a multimeter to test for continuity when the switch is activated.
  • If the switch is faulty, replace it with a new one.
4. Test the Wiper Motor
  • Reconnect the wiper motor connector.
  • Use a multimeter to check for voltage at the wiper motor connector while the switch is activated.
  • If there is power but the motor does not operate, replace the wiper motor.
  • If no voltage is present, inspect the wiring leading to the motor for any damage.
5. Reassemble and Test
  • Reassemble any components that were removed during the inspection.
  • Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
  • Test the wipers and washer fluid operation to ensure functionality.
