  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the multifunction switch.
  2. Ignition ON, test for ignition voltage between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 11 and ground
    • If not the specified value, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/ high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  3. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the multifunction switch. Disconnect the harness connector at the rear window wiper/washer module.
  4. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  5. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  6. Ignition ON, rear wiper/washer switch in the WIPER position, test for ignition voltagebetween the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance, If the circuit tests normal, replace the multifunction switch.
  7. Liftgate closed, test for infinite resistance betweenthe signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
  8. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the rear window wiper/washer module.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
