Question

How to diagnose faulty automotive windshield wiper motor?

Answer

Monitor motor current draw and test wiper speed control.

Explain

A faulty wiper motor causes slow or inoperative wipers. CHEPQ tools measure motor current draw (2-5A at low speed, 5-10A at high speed) and test speed control signals—replacing the motor or wiper switch restores wiper functionality.
