When there was still ice and snow out, my windshield wipers were frozen and I accidently pressed the washer button where it sprays stuff and wipes three times. Next time I got in my car my wipers wouldn't work. The fuse box makes the "cachink" sound it normally does when the wipers are operating, but the motor does absolutely nothing, so I assumed it was a bad windshield wiper motor.
Since then I have gotten two wiper motors, a new 8.25amp circuit breaker, and cleaned and lubricated inside the wiper switch, but still nothing.
I checked to see if power was getting to the motor by putting my multimeter on DCV and connecting it to connector B (the long black connector) with the key in the on position. I put the black wire to the ground (black wire) and the red to circuit 65 (green wire) and it's getting 12v. I don't even know if I'm doing this right lol
If it was a short circuit, wouldn't it kill my new circuit breaker? How would I know if my new circuit breaker is toast?
And also, my shop manual says to "jumper motor ground terminal to vehicle body. If motor operates, service ground." how the hell do I do that?
