Pinpoint Test A: The Wipers Are Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. A1 CHECK CIRCUITS 65 (DG) AND 1671 (RD) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Windshield Wiper Motor C125.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between windshield wiper C125-5, circuit 1671 (RD), harness side and ground; and between windshield wiper motor C125-8, circuit 65 (DG), harness side and ground.

    • Are the voltages greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to A2.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. TEST the system for normal operation
  2. A2 CHECK CIRCUITS 57 (BK) AND 875 (BK/LB) FOR OPENS 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Measure the resistance between windshield wiper C125-6, circuit 57 (BK), harness side and ground; and between windshield wiper motor C125-3, circuit 875 (BK/LB), harness side and ground.

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to A3.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. A3 CHECK THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH 
    • Disconnect: Multifunction Switch C202a.
    • Carry out the multifunction switch component test. Refer to COMPONENT TESTING -- F150 PICKUP for component testing.
    • Did the multifunction switch pass the component test? 
  4. A4 CHECK CIRCUIT 875 (BK/LB) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between C202a-4, circuit 875 (BK/LB), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to A5.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. A5 CHECK CIRCUITS 680 (LB/OG), 1300 (PK), 485 (PK/BK) AND 1301 (YE) FOR OPENS 
    • Using the following table, measure the resistance between the multifunction switch C202a harness side and the windshield wiper motor C125 harness side:

      MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH C202A AND WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR C125

      Multifunction Switch C202a Windshield Wiper Motor C125
      C202a-2, circuit 680 (LB/OG) C125-10, circuit 680 (LB/OG)
      C202a-3, circuit 1300 (PK) C125-11, circuit 1300 (PK)
      C202a-5, 485 (PK/BK) C1258-1, circuit 485 (PK/BK)
      C202a-1, circuit 1301 (YE) C125-9, circuit 1301 (YE)
    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to A6.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. A6 CHECK FOR CORRECT WIPER MOTOR OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the wiper motor connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the wiper motor connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new windshield wiper motor. REFER to WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR .
    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
