I have purchased a different wiper dimmer washer switch and also relays and placed them in the circuit. Nothing changes. The fuses are good.

I had some help from my brother and we traced one circuit from the on off relay with power if you ground out the relay the wipers work. We can not seem to find the other end of that one side of the relay coil it does not go to the switch. Is there something else in the circuit or what else do I look for. I am trying to save some money on repair

Thank You

Very common problem. Replace the Body computer if you're up for a challenge. It's plugged in up against the firewall in front of the brake pedal. Gotta remove some bolts too. It's a nightmare for the professionals. Proof it's the computer is the wipers will run for a few swipes when you press the washer button.

Good observation that the wiper motor itself is working. Most people just jump in and replace it.
