So i have a question regarding my wiper motor:

when i hit the arm to spay water on the windshield NOTHING HAPPENS, however i have replaced the arm on my steering wheel column.

- also when i run a wire from the motor - to a switch inside the vechicle i get power, therefore this tells me the motor is still good...

i was wondering if any of you had an idea..

i was thinking it could be the "relay" and since they are one of the cheaper fixes on partsgeek i was going to buy one and replace it and see what happens..

i would still like to hear you guys and girls expertise

or could it be:
windshield wiper switch connector
windshield wiper motor connector
 






Do you hear it try to move at all. If it does, you may need to change the wiper arm position on the cam until it works correctly. That's what I had to do to on my 97. If nothing works then first try fuse, relay, switch, then wiring in that sequence.
