Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 1 and the low reference terminal 2 with the high speed switch in the open position.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • If infinite resistance 
  3. Test for less than 2 Ω between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2 with the high speed switch in the closed position.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • If less than 2 Ω 
  4. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 3 and the low reference terminal 2 with the low speed switch in the open position.
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • If infinite resistance 
  5. Position the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch to INT.
  6. Verify the resistance readings are within the specified range listed below between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the low reference circuit terminal 1 by pushing the switch in the listed positions below.
    • Delay 1: 3.74-4.00 kΩ
    • Delay 2: 2.75-2.85 kΩ
    • Delay 3: 1.95-2.05 kΩ
    • Delay 4: 1.25-1.35 kΩ
    • Delay 5: 765-775 Ω
    • If not within the specified range 

      Replace the S82 Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

    • If within the specified range 
  7. All OK
