WIPER PROBLEM

[Ice Chicken]

The wipers on a 94 Chev Cavalier won't shut off.Any suggestions?

[Tyler23]

hit the wiper motor with something hard once. my dont have a problem shuting off but i have to do that to get them to turn on. works everytime lol

I am positive the wiper controls are on the turn signal switch. I would try wiggling switch, click to lowest speed setting and see if you can get the speed down. I would suspect switch first if the wiper speed controls are o the switch..

Good luck!

Standard Wiper

1. Disconnect wiper motor assembly connector. Turn ignition switch to ACCY position. Place wiper

switch in LO position.

2. Connect a test light between connector Orange wire terminal and ground. If test light is on, go to

next step. If test light does not come on, check Orange wire for short to voltage. If wire is okay,

replace wiper switch assembly.

3. Connect test light between harness Gray wire and ground. If test light is on, go to next step. If test

light does not come on, check Gray wire for an open circuit. If wire is okay, replace wiper switch

assembly.

4. Connect test light between harness Purple wire and ground. If test light is on, go to next step. If

test light does not come on, check Purple wire for short to voltage. If wire is okay, replace wiper

switch assembly.

5. Place wiper switch in III position. Connect test light between harness Gray wire and ground. If

test light comes on, go to next step. If test light does not come on, check Gray wire for short to

voltage. If wire is okay, replace wiper switch assembly.

6. Connect test light between Purple and ground. If test light comes on, replace wiper motor

assembly. If test light does not come on, check Purple wire for short to voltage. If wire is okay,

replace wiper switch assembly.

Delay Wiper

1. Disconnect wiper motor assembly connector. Turn ignition switch to ACCY position. Place wiper

switch in LO position.

2. Connect a test light between wiring harness Gray wire and ground. If test light comes on, go to

next step. If test light does not come on, check Gray wire for an open circuit. If wire is okay,

replace wiper switch assembly.

3. Place wiper switch in III position. Connect a test light between harness Purple wire and ground. If

test light comes on, go to next step. If test light does not come on, check Purple wire for an open

circuit. If wire is okay, replace wiper switch assembly.

4. With wiper switch in any position, connect test light between White wire and ground. If test light

comes on, replace wiper motor assembly. If test light does not come on, check White wire for an

open circuit. If wire is okay, check wiper fuse.

This question may prove what an automotive genious I really am but if wipers run all the time why would it be the fuse? Thanks for the info Airjer.Do you think Sky should just try changing the fuse as a hopeful fix?

Under the "runs all the time" symptom tips it tells you to go to these tests. They are somewhat generic and cover several issues. Run through them and see what working and whats not. The problem should reveal itself once you figure out whats working and whats not.
