WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 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.
      • Fig 1: Checking Circuits 65 (DG) And 1671 (RD) For Voltage

    • 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? 
    1. YES  : Go to  A2.
    2. NO  : VERIFY the central junction box (CJB) fuses 1 (10A) and 113 (30A) are OK. If OK, 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.
      • Fig 2: Checking Circuits 57 (BK) And 875 (BK/LB) For Opens

    • 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? 
    1. YES  : Go to  A3.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. A3 CHECK THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH 
    • Disconnect: Multi-Function Switch C202a
    • Carry out the multi-function switch component test. Refer to COMPONENT TESTING.
    • Did the multi-function switch pass the component test? 
    1. YES  : Go to  A4.
    2. NO  : INSTALL a new multi-function switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article.
  4. A4 CHECK CIRCUIT 875 (BK/LB) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between C202a-4, circuit 875 (BK/LB), harness side and ground.
      • Fig 3: Checking Circuit 875 (BK/LB) For An Open

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    1. YES  : Go to  A5.
    2. NO  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. A5 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 operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
