WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

B1 CHECK THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Multi-function Switch C202b.
- Carry out the multi-function switch component test.
- Did the multi-function switch pass the component test?
Yes : Go to B2.

No : INSTALL a new multi-function switch. REFER to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES .
B2 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between multi-function switch C202b-6, circuit 57 (BK), harness side and ground.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes : Go to B3.

No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

B3 CHECK CIRCUITS 56 (DB/OG), 58 (WH), 61 (YE/RD) AND 63 (RD) FOR SHORTS

Disconnect: Windshield Wiper Motor C125.

Using the following table, measure the resistance between windshield wiper motor C125 harness side and ground:

Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

Yes : Go to B4.

No : REPAIR the circuit(s) in question. TEST the system for normal operation.

B4 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 : INSTALL a new windshield wiper motor. REFER to WIPER MOTOR in this section.

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.
