Shawninvancouver Posted July 30, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2021 i am looking at the plug with six wires. I tried my test light by grounding it and probing all six holes.. no power with wiper on.. fuse is ok... what else ? am i doing something wrong? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarb Posted July 30, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 30, 2021 Grab a multimeter and the FSM and follow the wiper motor circuit from the switch to the motor. Establish that you have power going to the switch first. A test light is not the proper tool to use for debugging a circuit. You mentioned earlier you had a working motor that spun freely. Did you try that motor? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawninvancouver Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted July 30, 2021 i used to have power at the switch... but i dont see power there anymore.. but i do have power at the washer plug on the blue red wire... fuse is ok... my motor was not working before.. and i think after i took it apart and put together its in worse shape... i just want to know my power is ok so when i get a new motor it will work ok..

Yarb Posted July 30, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 30, 2021 Your going to have to trace the circuit. There’s no way around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Head Posted July 30, 2021 Share #7 Posted July 30, 2021 You might read some of the Honda upgrade threads. People have dug in to the operation of the factory motor so that they can replace it with a Honda motor. There's probably a schematic in one of them.

Shawninvancouver Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted July 30, 2021 yes.. i getting the honda motor over next few days... i just want to make sure my power is ok - if i have power to blue red with key on i get power to wiper motor..but do i need to see power at switch? how can it die from motor to switch? also - is there a way to test the other sppeds? are those wires in the wiper plug? if i turn to high speed should i see power on anther wire at the wiper plug?

Patcon Posted July 30, 2021 Share #11 Posted July 30, 2021 It has been suggested before to get a digital volt meter. Still don't have one. Can't test for true voltage or resistance with a test light. Nobody can help you fix these things from a 1000 miles away if your not gonna do what they ask!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawninvancouver Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share #12 Posted July 30, 2021 Ok. I do have a volt meter. You want me to see volts in wiper plug? When on? Off? Med hi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
