No luck changing out the turn signal either. I finally just got a 20 amp fuse, a couple of switches, and some wire and hard wired the motor directly to battery with the switches zip tied to the ac vent in the cabin. Looks jinky as hell, but cost me less about $15 for all the parts. Wasted 2-3 days and multiple trips to the salvage yard replacing every component that I could see in the system (wiper control, turn signal control, wires between the two, TIPM, and wiper motor) but every replaced part still had the 'tick'. Maybe the salvage yard TIPM was bad or just didn't work, or had the same problem too - but a rebuilt one online is $280, and no way I was going to spend that on a gamble that might not fix. Even the guy online at the company said he would sell me one, but didn't think it was my TIPM after I explained all the electrical problem I was having, not only wipers, but also my horn doesn't work, my radio sometimes will power on, sometimes won't, and my rear hatch will pop open at night if I don't use my battery disconnect to kill power (which I have to do b/c there is a parasitic drain on my battery that kills it after sitting 36+ hours). There's a lot of electrical issues with my POS Cruiser, so who knows what is going on with anything that uses electricity on mine. With key turned to power on, I was getting about 11 volts on the white/orange, and 6 volts on the home set position (all brown). I didn't notice a change in voltage when I turned the wipers off or on - just a constant reading unless the key was in the off position, then things drop to zero as expected. I am thinking that perhaps something is sending constant voltage to all three, when it shouldn't be, thus why it doesn't work and you only get a tick (constant voltage on low/high/park settings causing it to get 'ticked' off), but again, online research implied all this is controlled in the TIPM, and switching to another '06 didn't help, so who knows if I just had bad luck on the salvaged part(s), the PCM needed checked which I didn't do b/c you can't just switch this out (VIN specific), or something else entirely?
