  • Carefully pry off the trim panel covering the wiper control switch.
  • Unscrew the mounting screws of the wiper control switch and disconnect the electrical connector.
3. Inspect and Replace the Wiper Control Switch
  • Visually inspect the wiper control switch for any damage or wear.
  • If damaged, replace it with a new switch.
  • Reconnect the electrical connector and secure the switch with screws.
4. Test the Wiper Motor and Relay
  • Tools Required: Multimeter
