Test 4: Wiper Intermittent Mode Inoperative
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Chevrolet Corvette and 1999 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect wiper/washer switch connector C219 located at base of steering column. Disconnect wiper/washer switch harness connector C219. Turn wiper/washer switch to DELAY position. Connect ohmmeter between wiper/washer switch connector C219, terminals "A" (Dark Green wire) and "C" (Yellow wire).
- Move wiper/washer switch through entire delay range, one notch at a time. Resistance should change smoothly from about 39 k/ohms to 690 k/ohms. If resistance is not as specified, replace wiper/washer switch. See STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES - CORVETTE article. If resistance is as specified, go to next step.
- Ensure wiper/washer switch is in DELAY position. Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between wiper/washer switch connector C219, terminals "B" (Gray wire) and "C" (Yellow wire). If resistance is not 23-25 ohms, replace wiper/washer switch. See STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES - CORVETTE article. If resistance is 23-25 ohms, go to next step.
- Reconnect wiper/washer switch connector C219. Disconnect wiper motor connector. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Ensure wiper/washer switch is in DELAY position. Measure voltage between ground and wiper motor connector terminal "E" (Dark Green wire) while turning wiper/washer switch through entire delay range, one notch at a time. See Figure . If voltage is 10-14 volts and exists throughout entire delay range, replace wiper motor. See WIPER MOTOR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If voltage is not 10-14 volts and/or does not exist throughout entire delay range, repair open in Dark Green wire between wiper motor connector terminal "E" and wiper/washer switch connector terminal "A". See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
