Well I would start by checking fuses!

GabDesj

I did not mention but that's already done, and they are ok

next to check is the windshield wiper stalk on the steering column, then the wiring.. continuity tests should help you if it's not the stalk..

GabDesj

Thanks ! Il do this this friday ! Il give feedback this week-end !

ok sounds good, keep us posted... if you do need a new stalk, rockauto has them, and you can search online for 5% off coupon codes. Instead of paying $$$ at the dealer.

Convince me you know what fuse protects the wiper circuit. And how did you test the fuse?

GabDesj

I am engineering student ! I have the tool to test connectivity , and a fuse in the fuse box is pretty simple to test !

That's great, but you still didn't answer Ron's question. ANSWER RON'S QUESTION. And please stop putting exclamation points after each sentence.

Answer : I have a multimeter and a test plate, i also have the fuse box shema on the box door, i tested the fuse on a closed circuit and everything was good. Is it a good answer?

Checked BOTH fuses yet?

Vague.

Did you voltage test the the wiper fuse? Does voltage reach the motor from the fuse?

The wiper switch controls ground not voltage to the motor. Does the motor get good ground with the wiper switch turned on?


Please explain why an engineering student doesn't solve a simple basic electrical problem lickity split.
