Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather required tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Check and Replace Fuses
  • Locate the fuse box (usually found in the cabin or engine compartment).
  • Remove the wiper fuse using a fuse puller or pliers.
  • Inspect the fuse visually; if blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.
  • Reconnect the battery and test the wipers.
3. Inspect and Test the Wiper Motor
  • Remove any covers or panels obstructing access to the wiper motor.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the wiper motor.
  • Use a multimeter to test for voltage at the motor's connector when the wiper switch is activated.
  • If no voltage is present, trace the wiring back to the switch for faults.
  • If voltage is present but the motor does not operate, replace the wiper motor.
4. Inspect the Wiper Switch
  • Remove the steering column cover to access the wiper switch.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the switch.
  • Test the switch using a multimeter to ensure it is sending signals when activated.
  • If defective, replace the wiper switch.
5. Reassemble and Test
  • Reinstall any covers or panels removed during the inspection.
  • Reconnect the battery.
  • Test the wipers in all modes (intermittent, low, high) to ensure proper operation.
