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.
- E1 CHECK CIRCUIT 684 (PK/YE) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Disconnect: Windshield Wiper Motor C125
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the resistance between C125-12, circuit 684 (PK/YE), harness side and ground while depressing the multi-function switch to the windshield wiper wash position.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- E2 CHECK THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
- Key in OFF position.
- 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?
- YES : REPAIR circuit 685 (PK/YE) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : INSTALL a new multi-function switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES article.
- E3 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Connect: Windshield Wiper Motor C125
- Disconnect: Washer Pump Motor C137
- Measure the resistance between C137-2, circuit 57 (BK) harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to E4.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- E4 CHECK CIRCUIT 941 (BK/WH) FOR VOLTAGE
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between C137-1, circuit 941 (BK/WH) harness side and ground while depressing the multi-function switch to the windshield wiper wash position.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- YES : INSTALL a new washer pump motor. REFER to Washer Pump and Reservoir in this article. TEST the system for normal operation.
- NO : Go to E5.
- E5 CHECK CIRCUIT 941 (BK/WH) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Windshield Wiper Motor C125
- Measure the resistance between C125-7, circuit 941 (BK/WH), harness side and C137-1, circuit 941 (BK/WH), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- YES : Go to E6.
- NO : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- 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?
- YES : INSTALL a new windshield wiper motor. REFER to Wiper Motor in this article.
- 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.
