Galant 88 wipers

sounds like the switch to me..

Thanks for the reply Eric. I don't think it is the switch since I ca

hear a "reaction" from the relay even when I try to use the functio that won't work. (I had the same problem on a 30 year old SAAB and tha time it was a corroded contact near the wiper motor). What makes yo think it is the switch? have you had this problem

To me it sounds like a problem with the wiper motor itself.

You can try to clean the contacts in the wiper motor, but I would just look into a new motor.

But how could the motor be the part that doesn't work? It work

perfectly well at speeds 2 & 3. Surely there must be electricit missing in one of the wires connected to the wiper motor at som time... Or??

I'm guessing position 1 is the "intermit" setting? Also be aware that the position sensor, to stop the wipers at the bottom , is in the motor/gear assy. This signal is usually routed to the ETAC(electronic time and alarm control) and it in-turn runs the timing of the intermit function. You need a schematic....bad. Given the wipers won't park, I'd say the sensor/track inside the gearhousing is bad or dirty.

HOLD on! I looked in the factory wiring diagram.... It appears that some base model galants don't use ETACS for wipers and I don't know the trim level of yours but that's OK since the wiring at the wiper motor is almost the same.

The four wires at the motor are:

This should help.

THANKS Pro-Nerd, This should really help. I won't have the time to tr

to use your information for the next days but I will post my result here as soon as I have tried. Until then: Have a nice weekend
