Alright, my wipers don't work. They stopped working after my wife decided she wanted to use them to get 2 inches of snow off of the windshield. This stalled the blades and wiper motor at about the half-way position. I took it apart, and...

I've replaced the motor 2 times, but nothing occurs when I mess with the switch. No clicks, no sounds, no nothing. Could a relay be bad? Or could the switch on the steering wheel be shot? I think the wires leading to it are alright, but I'm unsure.

 

didja check the fuse?

 

Yeah, sorry for not including that. I've checked every fuse in my fusebox, just for safety. Just curious as if the relay could have been burned out? Or could a wire have burned itself? I'd hate to have the switch in the steering column be wrecked...

My turn signals work fine, though, and switching to high-beams still works.

 

highly doubt its the switchm if there is a relay i'd check that, 9 out of 10 times when you stress a wiper motor with snow the nut will spin itself off and the arm will turn freely, check the nut for the wiper transmission inside the cowl too

 

Alright, I replaced the nut when I replaced the motor assembly. I'll check which relay controls the wiper motor.


Any idea which one is for it? Or is there some way I can test them? I'd assume the relays are the little box type things by the master cylinder, under the hood, on the driver's side.

 

Alright, this is for fixing my Firebird, because I will NEED these wipers for winter.

Where can I find a list of relays, so that I can hunt down the wiper relay?

Moreover, what relay in the wiper relay?

Please, I've asked four times already.
