WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Test Step
- F1 CHECK THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Multifunction Switch C202b.
- Carry out the multifunction switch component test. Refer to COMPONENT TESTING - F250-F550 SUPER DUTY PICK for component testing.
- Did the multifunction switch pass the component test?
Result / Action to Take
- Yes : GO to F2.
- No : INSTALL a new multifunction switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES .
- F2 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between multifunction switch C202b pin 6, circuit 57 (BK), harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to F3.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F3 CHECK CIRCUIT 589 (OG) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Windshield Wiper Motor C125.
- Disconnect: Multifunction Switch C202b.
- Measure the resistance between windshield wiper motor C125 pin 12, circuit 589 (OG), harness side and multifunction switch C202b pin 5, circuit 589 (OG), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to F4.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F4 CHECK CIRCUIT 65 (DG) FOR VOLTAGE
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between windshield wiper motor C125 pin 5, circuit 65 (DG) harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : GO to F5.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F5 CHECK CIRCUIT 941 (BK/WH) FOR VOLTAGE
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Washer Pump Motor C137.
- Key in ON position.
- Measure the voltage between washer pump motor C137 pin 1, circuit 941 (BK/WH) harness side and ground while depressing the multifunction switch to the wash position.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : GO to F7.
- No : GO to F6.
- F6 CHECK CIRCUIT 941 (BK/WH) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Windshield Wiper Motor C125.
- Measure the resistance between windshield wiper motor C125 pin 7, circuit 941 (BK/WH), harness side and washer pump motor C137 pin 1, circuit 941 (BK/WH) harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to F8.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F7 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between washer pump motor C137 pin 2, circuit 57 (BK) harness side and ground.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new washer pump. REFER to WASHER PUMP AND RESERVOIR in this article.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- F8 CHECK FOR CORRECT WIPER MOTOR OPERATION
- Disconnect all wiper motor connectors.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- pushed-out pins
- Connect all wiper motor connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- Yes : GO to F9.
- 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.
- F9 CHECK THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Windshield Wiper Motor C125.
- Carry out the windshield wiper motor component test as outlined in this article.
- Did the windshield wiper motor pass the component test?
- Yes : The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by incorrect binding pivot arm adjustment. REFER to WIPER BLADE AND PIVOT ARM ADJUSTMENT in this article. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : INSTALL a new windshield wiper motor. REFER to WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR in this article.
