RE: [ISTA] Mysterious Wiper Activation

["Merlino, Rich" <Rich.Merlino@Eclipsys.com>]

Here's a little diagnose test compliments of Dave P.  

HTH,

Rich Merlino
'93 Ty white/white
San Jose, CA 

Same as 'wipers'.  If wipers work, Put a test light on the pump motor 
connector. Activate 'wash'. Light lights=replace pump. No light = connect 
lamp between gray wire on wiper motor and ground. Activate 'wash'. no 
light=replace wiper switch. Light on= connect lamp between orange wire at 
wipermotor and ground. light on= replace wiper switch. No light = replace 
wiper motor board.

Hope you're not too confused now.
Dave Perry
