Wiper Problem

Feb 27, 2008 5 Replies

My truck is an '85 SR5 Extra Cab with the 22RE and 5speed manual tranny and RWD. My windshield wipers work on low speed and intermittent but not on high speed. Anybody know where to start looking? jj



Check the blower motor switch. Make sure it is sending power to the blower motor when set to the high position.

You really meant the Wiper Motor, right?

I would start at the wiper motor connector. Jump voltage to the appropriate connections to drive the motor in high and low. If high doesn't work, it is a wiper motor problem. If it does, it is a switch or wiring problem. I would then go to the switch connector and see if the switch is putting the correct voltage on the relevant connections. If no, it is a switch problem. If yes, there is a bad connection somewhere in the wiring. The odds favor the switch but the wiper motor is probably easier to get at.
