I have an EA82 Wagon and the front wipers don't work. When I turn the switch to any position I don't hear any clicking. A test light proved that there is power to the motor when the switch is in any position, and my voltmeter says the motor should still work.

 

But there is no current in the green wire and i don't know if that is good or bad.

 

I checked fuses and they are fine.

With the car on try moving the key slightly towards the off position while your wipers are on the on position. This happened to me, turned out my ign. switch was going bad.

I will have to try that.

 

Edit: Doesn't work.

 

I ran a test light from the ground of the wiper motor to the negative battery terminal and it says that there is current passing through the motor. So i guess my next move is to get another wiper motor and plug it in and see what happens.

 

Does anyone have a wiring schematic of the wiper motor so I can figure out what the green wire does?

Heres the diagram out of my 1987 Factory Service Manual. If its not big enough pm me your email address so I can send it to you fullsized.

 

If you could send me the bigger one that would be great!

 

Thanks!

Green wire should be power of some kind, I think.

there is a box that you have to unplug when you go under the dash it controls the wipers if you replace that box the wipers will work again it seems to be a wiper control box
