Re: wipers help!

the wiper motor and the module are two seperate units that are bolted/screwed together if you changed the switch by the steering wheel and the motor and the module then you shouldnt be having any problems. as far as checking it...................

Re: wipers help!

Wiper Will Not Park
  1. Turn ignition on and wiper off and probe harness terminal No. 2.
  2. If light illuminates, refer to wiper switch continuity test.
  3. If light does not illuminate, remove wiper cover, reconnect motor without cover, switch motor from LO to OFF and check whether park switch latch arm is in position to catch drive pawl.
  4. If arm is not in proper position, replace park switch or, on pulse models, the cover assembly.
  5. If arm is in proper position, check whether drive pawl is bent.
  6. If drive pawl is bent, replace it. Otherwise, check shaft endplay. If drive pawl overrides latch, replace shaft assembly.
