Manta wiper problem

Gordy · 09-26-2007

I have a Manta which the wipers worked fine on....until yesterday when we got a drenching rain! The wipers still work fine on low. They do nothing now on high. I looked in the fsm and did not see anything on the problem. It would seem to be more of a switch or wiring problem than a motor problem since everything else with the wipers seem fine... they return to home and work on low. Anyone else had the same problem?

Probably just the switch contacts or the connector/plug at teh wiper motor. Clean the contacts and check the female spade in the plug. See if its loose. Water may have gotten into the plug and if its loose caused a short.

Either way let me know, I have both I can send you. I have a good number of switches anyway.
