need help now please!!!

[chopperchip]

wiper motor problems, why can I jump the wiper motor and it works? then I check power and connector and it has power on, then no power when turned on? please help. wife has to leave Wednesday. running out of time. I'm a mechanic by trade, did the usual tests, everything checks out except when plugged in....

Sounds liike a bad switch on the column. Have you tested it? Do you have power to the wiper motor when the switch is on and it is hooked back up? Could you be more specific about the tests you have done and at what point you have done them?

not only do you need power, a ground is also required for the motor to work.

checked the pin connector going throught the switch cycles. everything checks out. power probed the motor, runs on high. switch seems to check out

Tilt column? Tilt the wheel all the way UP. Loose MFS connector?

Make sure you have a good ground from the wiper motor.
