Component Testing

Multifunction Switch

  1. With the ignition OFF, disconnect the C1 harness connector at the turn signal/multifunction switch.
  2. Test the resistance between terminals H and L. Rotate the wiper switch and compare the resistance readings to the values in the Windshield Wiper Switch Values table below for MIST, each DELAY and LOW speed.
    • If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.
  3. Test for infinite resistance between terminals H and K while rotating the wiper switch to MIST, each DELAY and LOW speed positions.
    • If the less than infinite, replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.
  4. Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance with the wiper switch in the High speed position..
    • If greater than 5 ohm, replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.
  5. Test for infinite resistance between terminals H and J while rotating the wiper switch to MIST, each DELAY and LOW speed positions.
    • If less than infinite, replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.
  6. Test for less than 5 ohm of resistance while pressing the WASHER switch.
    • If greater than 5 ohm, replace the turn signal/multifunction switch.
IMPORTANT: If the switch tests open in any switch position other than Off, test the wiper/washer switch signal circuits for a short to voltage before replacing the switch.
Wiper Switch Values

Switch Position Resistance
Off Infinite
Mist 300-364 Ω
Delay 1 3.48K-4.25K Ω
Delay 2 2.52K-3.08K Ω
Delay 3 1.78K-2.18K Ω
Delay 4 1.17K-1.44K Ω
Delay 5 697-851 Ω
Low 300-364 Ω

Windshield Wiper Motor Dynamic Test

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the windshield wiper motor.
  2. Install a 25-amp fused jumper wire between the control terminal B and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between the ground terminal A and ground.
  3. The wiper motor should be in low speed mode.
    • If the wiper motor is not in the low speed mode replace the motor.
  4. Install a 25-amp fused jumper wire between the control terminal A and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between the ground terminal D and ground.
  5. The wiper motor should be in the high speed mode.
    • If the wiper motor is not in the high speed mode replace the motor.
