Windshield Wiper Switch Circuit Malfunction 

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the windshield wiper switch.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 20 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminal D and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit test normal, replace the BCM.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Windshield Washer Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal B for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and ground. Verify the scan tool Windshield Washer Switch parameter is Active.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the windshield wiper washer switch.

Washer Pump Circuit Malfunction. 

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the C3 harness connector at the underhood fuse block.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 25 and B+.
  3. Ignition ON, command the washers ON and OFF using the WASH switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Ignition OFF, connect the C3 harness connector at the underhood fuse block. Disconnect the harness connector at the washer pump.
  5. Test for less than 20 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  6. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
  7. Ignition ON, command the washers ON and OFF using the WASH switch. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the underhood fuse block.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the underhood fuse block.
  8. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the washer pump.

When to See a Mechanic

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

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