INSPECTION PROCEDURE G-3: Windshield Wiper and Washer: Windshield wiper does not stop at the predetermined park position.: Diagnosis

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Required Special Tool: 

  1. STEP 1. Check the windshield wiper motor 
    1. Disconnect windshield wiper motor connector A-03.
    2. Connect the windshield wiper motor connector terminal 1 to the positive battery terminal and terminal 5 to the ground as shown (A). See Fig 1. Operate the windshield wiper at low speed. While the windshield wiper is working, disconnect the battery at positions other than the predetermined park position to stop the windshield wiper motor.
    3. When connect the windshield wiper motor connector terminal 3 to the positive battery terminal, terminal 5 to the ground and terminal 1 to terminal 4 as shown (B). See Fig 1. The motor should run at low speed, and then stop at the predetermined park position.

    Q: Does the windshield wiper motor operate normally? 

    YES  : Go to Step 2.

    NO:  Replace the windshield wiper motor. The windshield wiper should now stop at the predetermined park position.

    3. Measure the voltage between terminal 3 and ground.
      • The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).

    Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage)? 

    YES  : Go to  Step 5.

    NO:  Go to Step 3.
