Nissan Repair: 95 pathfinder rear wiper not working, board hope, motor assembly


Question
QUESTION: Rear wiper does not work in intermittent or normal operation, but does work in the wash mode only.  I can hear  the relays click.  Switched relays, same issue.  Any Ideas??

ANSWER: Hi Kevin -

Are you getting power to the relay? I am especisally interested in the main circuit that feeds the motor. If no power, then check the wiper switch.

Please get back to me -

Answer
Hi Kevin -

It appears that relay may be getting power, however, we need to check to see if it is supplying the motor assembly with power, as there is a circuit board that controls the operation of the motor in different settings.

Get a 12V light type circuit tester, or a multimeter and check the "hot" wire(s) that go to the motor assembly.

If there is power with the wipers on, then I would replace the board.

Hope this helps -
