    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : Go to  E6.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. E6 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? 
    1. YES  : INSTALL a new windshield wiper motor. REFER to Wiper Motor  in this article.
    2. NO  : The system is working correctly at this time. The concern might have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
