* Step 1: Determine the root cause of the issue:
- Verify if the problem is localized to the passenger-side wiper or if all wipers have stopped working.
- This will help narrow down whether the problem lies with the specific wiper motor or if there's a more general electrical or mechanical issue with the wiper system.
* Step 2: Check electrical connections:
- Examine all electrical connectors between the wiper motor, fuse box, and wiring harness to ensure they are secure and free of damage or corrosion.
- Ensure that the ground connection for the wiper motor is intact.
* Step 3: Check fuse:
- Locate the fuse responsible for the wiper circuit.
- Refer to the owner's manual or fuse diagram for the correct location.
- Replace the fuse if it has blown.
* Step 4: Inspect wiper motor:
- Remove the cowling over the passenger-side wiper motor assembly to access the motor.
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the wiper motor and inspect the connection points for damage or corrosion.
* Step 5: Test wiper motor:
- Connect a power source directly to the wiper motor using jumper wires.
- If the motor operates normally, the issue may be with the wiring or control circuit.
- If the motor does not work, it likely needs to be replaced.
* Step 6: Replace the wiper motor (if needed):
- If the wiper motor is faulty, it needs to be replaced.
- Follow the steps in the owner's manual or a repair guide to remove the old motor and install the new one.
* Step 7: Test the wipers:
- Reconnect the power connector and operate the wipers using the switch.
- Ensure that the passenger-side wiper now works correctly.
*Note:* If the issue persists after replacing the motor or checking the electrical connections, you may need to seek assistance from an experienced mechanic or auto electrician for further diagnosis and repair.
