Permanent Magnet Motor
Fig. 9 Permanent magnet non-depressed park type windshield wiper motor. Citation, Omega, Phoenix & 1982---85 Skylark
On models with pulse wipers, disconnect electrical connectors to pulse module and connect switch and motor harnesses together. If problem is
corrected, pulse module is defective.

Wipers Inoperative
1.
Turn ignition on, then check for current at No. 1 motor terminal using suitable test lamp. If lamp does not light, check fuse and white wire between
motor and fuse block and repair as necessary.
2.
If lamp lights, connect jumper wire between terminal 2 and ground, then between terminal 3 and ground, Fig. 9.
3.
If motor operates, check continuity of purple and gray wires between motor and control switch. If wiring has continuity, replace control switch.
4.
If motor does not operate, repair or replace motor as necessary.
Wipers Will Not Park
1.
Connect jumper wire between terminal No. 5 and ground, Fig. 9. If wipers return to park position, then stop, check blue wire between park switch
and control switch for continuity. If continuity is present, replace control switch.
2.
If wipers do not park, connect jumper wire between terminals 4 and 5. If motor operates at low speed, replace park switch. If motor still does not
operate, check for damaged gray wire between terminals 4 and 5.
Wipers Inoperative In Delay Mode
1.
Disconnect wiper switch harness electrical connector at pulse control module and connect ohmmeter between brown wire terminals in connector.
2.
Meter reading should vary from approximately 50 ohms with switch in minimum delay position to approximately 500,000 ohms with switch in
maximum delay position.
3.
If readings are not as specified, replace wiper switch. If readings are as specified, replace pulse control module.
