Wiper Motor: Testing and Inspection
Use Alternator, Regulator, Battery and Starter Tester (ARBST) to test the wiper motor on the vehicle.
To test the wiper motor, disconnect the windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft from the windshield wiper motor.
Disconnect the wiper motor. Connect the (1) green lead from (2) Alternator, Regulator, Battery and Starter Tester (ARBST) to the battery negative (-)
post. Connect the (3) red lead from ARBST to the wiper motor (4) common brush terminal (terminal 3).
Test the low speed mode by connecting a (5) cable from the battery positive (+) post to the (6) low speed brush terminal (terminal 4) and measure the
current draw. If the current draw is greater than 3.5 amperes, install a new windshield wiper motor.
Test the high speed mode by connecting a cable from the battery positive (+) post to the (7) high speed brush terminal (terminal 5) and measure the
current draw. If the current draw is greater than 5.5 amperes, install a new wiper motor.
