  • Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Inspect and Test the Wiper Switch
  • Remove the steering column cover to access the wiper switch.
  • Use a multimeter to test the continuity of the switch in all positions.
  • If the switch is faulty, replace it with a new one.
3. Check the Wiper Relay
