[bigk]

my 1990 240sx winshield wiper just stopped working. i replaced the wiper motor and it still dont work. is there a relay i need to replace and where would it be?need to know asap

Try replacing the little box on the drivers side in the engine bay. Right next to the firewall. Should be green.

well i have 2 240sx and i did try too pull the plug off of the greenbox from my other 240 to see if the wipers would stop working and they didnt, so i think it might be somethingelse.

Make sure there is nothing wrong with the switch or the wiring. You can use a multimeter to check the wires at diffent places to make sure nothing is loose or broken.

be sure to check your 20amp fuse in the fuse panel next to the drivers feet.

i bet you 10 bucks that's what it is, be sure to check it with a multimeter even if it looks ok.

will any other things stop working with the 20amp gone out?my wipers stopped working. replaced the box, multi'd the motor jumped the batt straight to it (it works) so i figured it was something inside the dash. ill have to check this when my girl gets home with my car

can some one tell were the fuse is in the fuse box I dont have a read out my car did the same thing I replaced the green box to anybody need one got 4

The wiper fuse is the 5th one down in the left column of fuses in the fusebox by the driver's foot. It should be the only 20 amp fuse in the left column. (at least on my 90)

Quote »will any other things stop working with the 20amp gone out?[/quote]the wiper fluid pump will also quit working, basically everything controlled off that stalk runs through that fuse.

if it's only the intermitant wiper control that doesn't work (fluid, high/low speeds work), and door chime doesn't work you might also want to check the timing control unit that's down around the fuse panel. but i really doubt that's the problem. check your fuse first.

bigk - When you turn on the wipers, do you hear a noise at all? Like a tapping sound for a couple of seconds?

[bigk]

i dont hear anything

[Touchdown038]

OK... go unbolt the (new) wiper motor, set it somewhere safe but leave it still plugged in, go inside the car and turn on the wipers, then go check to see if the arm on the back is circling.

This test will let you know if it's in the wiring or the mechanics of the wipers.

still no worky.im going to just take it to nissan and see if they find whats wrong.
