I am attempting to diagnose my non-working wipers by testing the switch directly.
So far I have removed the steering wheel and removed the 4 screws inside. The stuff in the column is 'loose' now, but I can't actually remove anything, only pull it out by about 1/2" or so. Is there a trick? I am afraid of breaking something if I pull too hard. |

Anybody? I can't seem to get continuity across any of the wires, no matter which position the wiper lever is in, so I'm thinking the switch is toast, and it doesn't look repairable to me.

Do you have a wiring diagram? You will need one to figure out what wires should have continuity in each position.
If it does not easily go into all three positions then it probably is broken. I should have a good used one. What year is the car? |
