1993 ford econoline, windshield wipers don't work

I have a hard time finding out what is wrong with the wipers, why they don't work, I was wondering if anyone could help me diagnose the problem

Here's a diagram for non-delay wipers.



You need to check for constant power on the red wire. Also check for power on the white wire when the switch is in "low".

thanks for fast reply, I have 2 conectors on that motor and the wipers have delay. It seems like power gets to the motor, but i will check and let you know which wire has power

If your wipers work on high, I would suspect the delay box, although it also could be the speed control in the wiper switch.

Hi Dave,
Here is what I found out about power going into the wiper motor
There is 2 connectors one black that mounts on top of the motor and other gray that mounts on a side. I checked for power on both of them. The black connector has 3 wires, black, black-purple and green. On this connecter there is steady power into the green wire no matter at what setting is the switch (delay, low or high), the black-purple wire does not get any power at all at any speed setting and the black is ground, The other connector has white, blue-orange and yellow-red, yellow-red seems to be ground ( I checked for resistance and it seems to be ground wire) blue-orange has power at delay and low setting and white wire has power at high setting, I’m not sure about the black-purple wire on the first connector, why there is no power or what it is for? Also the wipers don’t work at all, no matter which setting the switch is , I noticed that relay is clicking when I try use the washer or when I put the switch in low or high speed.

Ok, the diagram above is the wrong one. This diagram seems to be the correct one. Look in the middle right part of the diagram.

http://www.autozone.com/images/cds/g...3d800a3a60.gif

On this connecter there is steady power into the green wire no matter at what setting is the switch (delay, low or high),
This looks correct.



blue-orange has power at delay and low setting and white wire has power at high setting,
If you look at the diagram, these wires feed the motor. Looks like the motor is bad.
