WIPER BLADES
REMOVAL
(1) Lift the wiper arm away from the glass.
(2) Disengage the release tab holding the wiper
blade to the wiper arm and remove the wiper blade
from the wiper arm (Fig. 5) and (Fig. 6).
CLEANING
Wiper blades exposed to the weather for a long
period of time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness.
Periodic cleaning of the wiper blade is recommended
to remove the accumulation of salt and road grime.
The wiper blades, arms and windshield should be
cleaned with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent
or nonabrasive cleaner. If the wiper blades continue
to streak or smear, they should be replaced. The
wiper blade should run smoothly across the wind-
shield in both directions. The wiper blade should
slightly roll over center when the blade reverses
direction. A wiper blade insert that has lost flexibility
or a wiper arm that has lost spring tension, will
cause the blade to skip or chatter across the wind-
shield. If the wiper blades are new and the wiper
arm spring tension is OK and a chattering sound is
emitted from the wiper(s), the wiper blade is not roll-
ing over center. If this condition exists, (refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/WIPER ARMS -
ADJUSTMENTS).
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the blade onto the arm.
(2) Engage the blade to the retainer by pulling up
on the blade until the tabs snap into position (Fig. 5).

DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND
INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a par-
ticular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For exam-
ple, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
Splice diagrams in Section 8W-70 show the entire
splice and provide references to other sections the
splices serves. Section 8W-70 only contains splice dia-
grams that are not shown in their entirety some-
where else in the wiring diagrams.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the dia-
gram pages.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit
there are several common tools necessary. These tools
are listed and explained below.
²Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to con-
nect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: NEVER USE A JUMPER WIRE ACROSS
A LOAD, SUCH AS A MOTOR, CONNECTED
BETWEEN A BATTERY FEED AND GROUND.
²Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a cir-
cuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the
circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in today's vehicles are Solid State. When checking
voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 -
megohm or greater impedance rating.

WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION (Continued)

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF
VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
(1) Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a
known good ground (Fig. 7).
(2) Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the
selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to
be turned ON to check voltage. Refer to the appropri-
ate test procedure.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR
CONTINUITY
(1) Remove the fuse for the circuit being checked
or, disconnect the battery.
(2) Connect one lead of the ohmmeter to one side
of the circuit being tested (Fig. 8).
(3) Connect the other lead to the other end of the
circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good
continuity.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A
SHORT TO GROUND
(1) Remove the fuse and disconnect all items
involved with the fuse.
(2) Connect a test light or a voltmeter across the
terminals of the fuse.
(3) Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring
harness about six to eight inches apart and watch
the voltmeter/test lamp.
(4) If the voltmeter registers voltage or the test
lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that gen-
eral area of the wiring harness.
