2. Remove the hood seal and cowl cover.
3. Disconnect the 5P connector (A) from the wiper motor (B).






4. Test the motor by connecting battery power and ground according to the table. If the motor does not run or fails to run smoothly, replace the motor.






5. Connect the battery positive terminal to the No. 2 terminal, and negative terminal to the No. 3 and No. 1 terminals of the 5P connector. Then connect an analog voltmeter between the No. 4 (+) terminal and the No. 1 (-) terminal. When the park switch contacts, the pointer should swing. If not, replace the motor.
