(c) After disconnecting the positive (+) lead from terminal 5
connect it to terminal 3, and than, check that the meter
needle rises from 0 volts to battery positive voltage within
9 to 15 seconds.
If operation is not as specified, replace the relay.
8. INSPECT FRONT WIPER MOTOR OPERATION
(a) Inspect the motor operation at low speed.
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
3 and the negative (−) lead from the battery to terminal 1,
check that the motor operates at low speed.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
(b) Inspect the motor operation at high speed.
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 and the negative (−) lead from the battery to terminal 1,
check that the motor operates at high speed.
If operation is not as specified, replace the motor.
(c) Inspect the motor operation when stopping it.
(1) Operate the motor at low speed and stop the motor
operation anywhere except at the stop position by
disconnecting the positive (+) lead from terminal 3.
(2) Connect terminals 3 and 5.
(3) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to ter-
minal 6 and negative (−) lead from the battery termi-
