Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2007No wipers on Accord 2003
Hi, All of a sudden my wipers stopped working, the fuse is OK. I don't know how to get to the motor... is there a relay i could look for. The Haynes manual is not available yet. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks. >Hi, > >All of a sudden my wipers stopped working, the fuse is OK. When you say the fuse is good, do you mean that you looked at it and it looked okay, or that you tested it for continuity? >I don't know how to get to the motor... is there a relay i could look for. I do not know about the 2003. My 1993 had a wiper relay on the under dash fuse block Hope this helps Elliot Richmond Itinerant astronomy teacher Freelance science writer > >Hi, > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Itinerant astronomy teacher > Freelance science writer You misunderstood.

Elliot Richmond Itinerant astronomy teacher Freelance science writer I tested it's continuity and on my OHM meter it says 0, the same as when I touch the tips together... >>Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Itinerant astronomy teacher > Freelance science writer >I tested it's continuity and on my OHM meter it says 0, the same as when I >touch the tips together... Sounds good to me. I asked, because I have seen fuses that looked good, but were still open. The next step would be to look for 12 volts at the plug that goes into the motor. It should be accessible under the cowling below the windshield. You will need to take the wipers off first, then I THINK the cowling just snaps out.. Or, you could find and replace the relay. I looked on the FAQ maintained by Tegger and did not see anything that exactly matched your symptom. The FAQ does mention an integrated control unit that causes odd symptoms. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Elliot Richmond Itinerant astronomy teacher Freelance science writer > Hi, > > All of a sudden my wipers stopped working, the fuse is OK. Can you hear the motor running when you turn the wiper switch on? SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks. The relay is in the fuse/relay box under the hood, a little in front of the drivers side wiper. After finding that good, if the washer also doesn't work, you might want to check the switch (and it's connections) before checking the motor, especially if there is no sound at all coming from the motor when you try it. . Bob Hi, There is no sound at all, I've spotted the fuse box under the hood, there is a index of the fuses, but not the relays, there are 4 -5 relays in there, I have no idea which it is... The washer works!!! Thanks to all. >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > . > Bob Hi, I've switched the relays (with matching numbers) and it did nothing... I removed the wipers and I could see the bolts (that holds the wiper), are moving but barely when I put the wiper on. Now I'm pretty sure it's the motor. I removed the cowling and found the motor, I checked for power, and one of the 5 probes have 12V reading, it's the middle one on the bottom. Always 12v wether or not the wipers are on. >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > . > Bob > The Haynes manual is not available yet. Hmmm, I bought one new several years ago.
