my windshield wipers and washer stopped working. i turn on the car and get nothing when I turn either on. I checked the fuse and it is fine. I looked at the FSM and it says to check the wiper amplifier, but I can’t find where it is located or what it looks like. Can anyone help or give suggestions? ---

I checked the fuse and it is fine. I looked at the FSM and it says to check the wiper amplifier, but I can’t find where it is located or what it looks like. Can anyone help or give suggestions? the intermitant wiper control box (usually green but i think I have also seen black) is usually located next to the clutch/brake masters in the engine compartment, otherwise I have seen them on the opposite side next to the wiper motor. You could also use a 12V test light to check that the fuses are good, and there is power at the wiper motor/spray motor. ---

My car’s fluids wont spray…front or back… not spraying, if the fuse is okay is more than likely totally corroded pumps/and harness plugs. Common on S13’s ---

So this is what I have figured out. on the main plug on the steering wheel column for the wiper/washer lever there are 8 wires going into the plug. 2 of the wires have electicity when the car key is turned on. I’m assuming 1 is for the wipers and 1 is for the washer. I am also assuming that when I turn on the wiper or washer it should complete the circuit and send electicity down 1 of the other wires to activate the wipers or washer. Does that sound right to you guys? I also checked at the fuse panel and there is electricity at the wiper fuse. I’m thinking that probably the wiper/washer lever switch on the steering wheel is gone considering neither my wipers or my washer is working. What do you guys think?
