  4. Disconnect the electrical connector from the motor by pulling on it
    • Disconnect the electrical connector from the motor by pulling on it

    • Turn on the ignition

    • Using a multimeter, measure the voltage at the connector terminal (middle terminal (+) and one of the outer terminals (-)

    • Here the voltage is correct (around 12V), the motor is therefore correctly supplied but does not work, so it must be replaced

  5. In step 4, if no voltage is detected at the wiper connector terminal, the problem is upstream of the motor. Relays and fuses should be checked. With the ignition off, sit in the passenger seat, open the glove box and empty it. Unhook the jack holding the glove box. Press simultaneously on the two plastic tabs. The glove box opens. The fuse box is located at the back on the right.

    • Using a flashlight and fuse pliers (present by default in the fuse box), remove and check (visually, or using a multimeter) the fuses and relays circled in red

    • Replace faulty relays/fuses. Return to step 4 and test for voltage at the wiper motor connector terminals.
