Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
  • Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Inspect and Replace Wiper Control Stalk
  • Tools Required: Screwdriver set, Torx driver set.
  • Remove the steering column covers by unscrewing the screws using a screwdriver.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the wiper control stalk.
  • Remove the control stalk by unscrewing any mounting screws.
  • Install the new wiper control stalk by reversing the steps above.
  • Reconnect the electrical connector and reassemble the steering column covers.
3. Check and Replace Wiper Fuse
  • Tools Required: Fuse puller or needle-nose pliers.
  • Locate the fuse box, typically found under the dashboard on the driver's side.
  • Identify the wiper fuse using the diagram on the fuse box cover.
  • Remove the fuse and inspect it for continuity; replace it if blown.
  • Reinstall the fuse back into its slot securely.
4. Test Wiper Motor
  • Tools Required: Multimeter, jumper wires.
  • Disconnect the wiper motor connector.
  • Use a multimeter to check for voltage at the motor connector while operating the wiper switch.
  • If voltage is present and the motor does not operate, connect the motor directly to a power source to test if it functions.
  • If the motor fails to operate, replace it with a new wiper motor.
