The wipers work on high and low but the intermediate wipers do not work. If you pull the switch back the washer motor does not work either. The motor for the washer is getting no power. Replaced the multiplex control module already fuses are good. Also replaced the wiper relay. Need help please.

Hello,

It sounds like you have an intermittent wiper relay that is not working. Here is a guide to help you test the relay once you find it from the diagrams below:

Here is the wiring and relay locations.

Check out the diagrams (below).

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

Welcome back, it sounds like the driver side multiplex is out. Here is the location and a larger wiring diagram so you can see how the system works. Replace it and please get back to me. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.

I am sorry, it is the passengers side multiplex that controls the intermittent wipers.

The two multiplex controllers work together. So yes it can affect the washer motor as well.

Yes, you can do a can scan on the system which will pinpoint the issue. Here is a video to show you how:
