DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FRONT WIPER &
WASHER SYSTEM
FRONT WIPER SYSTEM
If the front wiper motor operates, but the wipers
do not move on the windshield, replace the faulty
front wiper module. If the wipers operate, but chat-
ter, lift, or do not clear the glass, clean and inspect
the front wiper system components as required.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASH-
ERS - INSPECTION) and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING). For
diagnosis and testing of the multi-function switch
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING -
EXTERIOR/MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING). Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, details of wire harness routing and
retention, connector pin-out information and location
views for the various wire harness connectors, splices
and grounds.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
front wiper and washer system may be diagnosed
and tested using conventional diagnostic tools and
procedures. However, conventional diagnostic meth-
ods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
Body Control Module (BCM), or the inputs to or out-
puts from the BCM that control the various front
wiper and washer system operating modes. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the BCM, or the BCM inputs and outputs related to
the various front wiper and washer system operating
modes requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

CLEANING - REAR WIPER & WASHER SYSTEM
REAR WIPER SYSTEM
The squeegee of a wiper blade exposed to the ele-
ments for a long time tends to lose its wiping effec-
tiveness. Periodic cleaning of the squeegee is
suggested to remove any deposits of salt or road film.
The wiper blade, arm, and rear flip-up glass should
only be cleaned using a sponge or soft cloth and
windshield washer fluid, a mild detergent, or a non-
abrasive cleaner. If the wiper blade continues to
leave streaks, smears, hazing, or beading on the
glass after thorough cleaning of the squeegees and
the glass, the entire wiper blade assembly must be
replaced.
CAUTION: Protect the rubber squeegee of the wiper
blade from any petroleum-based cleaners, solvents,
or contaminants. These products can rapidly deteri-
orate the rubber squeegee.

BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heater-only or A/C Heater blower motor is con-
trolled by a four position rotary-type blower motor
switch, mounted in the A/C Heater control panel. The
switch allows the selection of one of four blower
motor speeds, but can only be turned off by selecting
the Off position with the heater-only or A/C Heater
mode control switch knob.
OPERATION
The blower motor switch directs the blower motor
ground path through the mode control switch to the
blower motor resistor, or directly to ground, as
required to achieve the selected blower motor speed.
The blower motor switch cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, the entire heater-only or A/C
Heater control unit must be replaced.

(1) Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). If OK, go to Step
2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the A/C Heater control from the instrument
panel. Check for continuity between the ground cir-
cuit cavity of the A/C Heater control wire harness
connector and a good ground. There should be conti-
nuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to ground as required.
(3) With the A/C Heater control wire harness con-
nector unplugged, place the A/C Heater mode control
switch knob in any position except the Off position.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit ter-minal and each of the blower motor driver circuit ter-
minals of the A/C Heater control as you move the
blower motor switch knob to each of the four speed
positions. There should be continuity at each driver
circuit terminal in only one blower motor switch
speed position. If OK, test and repair the blower
driver circuits between the A/C Heater control con-
nector and the blower motor resistor as required. If
not OK, replace the faulty A/C Heater control unit.

KJCONTROLS 24 - 23

BLOWER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor and blower wheel are located in
the passenger side end of the HVAC housing, below
the glove box. The blower motor controls the velocity
of air flowing through the HVAC housing by spinning
a squirrel cage-type blower wheel within the housing
at the selected speed. The blower motor and wheel
can be removed from the housing inside the vehicle
without removing the dash or HVAC housing assem-
bly.
OPERATION
The blower motor will only operate when the igni-
tion switch is in the On position, and the A/C Heater
mode control switch knob is in any position, except
Off. The blower motor receives a fused battery feed
through the blower motor relay whenever the igni-
tion switch is in the On position. The blower motor
battery feed circuit is protected by a fuse in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). Blower motor
speed is controlled by regulating the ground path
through the A/C Heater control blower motor switch
and the blower motor resistor.
The blower motor and blower motor wheel cannot
be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced. The blower motor and blower wheel are ser-
viced only as a unit.
