    Anything else to check before I pull the wiper motor?

    So I'm starting to think my wiper motor burnt out. Based on what I've read on this forum, I really hope not. So want to check if I missed anything.

    Here's what I checked so far:
    1. The windshield pump works - so fuse 13 is fine
    2. Took off the blades
    3. Loosened the wiper bolts
    4. Bypassed the delay module


    And the motor still doesn't work for any position of the switch.

    Anything else I can try?
    • Could the linkage be "stuck"? If so how do I unstick it?
    • How do I force the pump on? Short the green wire to any other one?


    Thanks!

    Possible faulty switch? Did you run power directly to the wiper motor to test?

    When you get the new motor, before you take the old one out, try plugging in the new one and see if it works. Before ordering the new one make sure all of the plugs are tightly connected and none of the wires have "backed out". Could be the switch.
