1. If the windshield wiper does not work at all or works too slowly, check the motor connector for secure fastening and its wiring for damage and proper grounding. If everything is OK, check the current consumed by the electric motor by inserting an ammeter into its circuit and turning on the windshield wiper. The current consumption should not exceed 5 A.
2. If there is no current flowing to the electric motor at all, check fuse No. 4 by turning on the heater fan. If it works, then the fuse is ok, if not, then the fuse is blown. If the fuse is good, use a 12V tester lamp to check the wiring from the fuse to the electric motor for an open.
3. If the electric motor is drawing too much current, check the wiper arm mechanism for freedom of movement. If everything is OK here, you will have to remove the electric motor for further inspection. Similarly, if the electric motor draws too little current (with a normally charged battery), it will have to be removed for further inspection.
