Question, i have a 98 chevy malibu ls and my wipers only work if i turn the switch to the highest setting, what should i replace?

@dext3r315 I would start by checking the switch at the connector just like in this video to see if it is working properly.

hi, i have a problem, my 93 corolla wiper's turn on itself when i turn the key to "acc" position (the wiper switch is at the "off" position), do you have any idea what seems to be the problem? -thanks-

[richpin06a]

@easyletgo That could be a switch problem.

Hi Richpin, the voltage off my yellow wire is reading approximately .3, but yours was 11.5 or so... does that sound like a switch problem? I put a new motor in there (thinking it was the motor), but the low and intermediate switch settings don't make the motor spin.

@goatinapastlife It is not a switch problem because the voltage does not go through the switch.Look for the problem at or around the wiper fuse in the interior fuse panel.

@gaoanyu1 The key is in the off position.

Great video Richard. When you test resistance at the socket, did you put the key on off position or accessories/run? Thanks.
