Default Wiper switch!!!!!!

Anyone on here know how the switch for the wipers is wired??? I know i can get it off the net, but I need someone to fix mine for me. My wipers dont work at all. the motor works, i tested it with positive and negative wires, my hatch wiper works, therefore its not the fuse, the switch is fucked i think the alarm guy may have miswired it but i dont know how. probably took the wrong power wire. plz help thanks.

Cell: 647 829 8104
or email me at Branavan.muralee@gmail.com

snow's coming i really need this fixed or im fucked.

you need to look at awiring diagram for it on shop key its a software program and you can use it for free at partsource then just find the colours and trace your wiring

you have a multimeter? you can test the power going to the switch and coming out of it and norrow it down to make sure its not the switch and know which feed is shorted to ground or open circuited or whatever. Or test the resistance of either wire if its infinate its open somewhere or check continuity of the each wire. Electrical problems are never fun and there time consuming you just have to get in there with the diagram and mutimeter and start rulling ---- out. Or temporaroly run swithced power to the wiper motor so you can toggle it from inside the car but without the risistors in the wiper switch i'm prety sure you will only have one speed probably full.

im 99% sure its the wiring for the switch, we changed the linkages and motor a few months back me and thusee. the alarm guy fucked the switch up somehow im pretty sure. cause the wiring under my steering coloum was ------ intertwined with my old alarm from previous owner. i didnt know about it till the guy was installing me a new one. he may have used the power wire onto the alarm and left the switch with nothing. im gonna check tomorrow night i dotn got time or light today.

i install alarms.. i could see that he wired you parking light wire into you wiper maybe.. but when you get power for an alarm you go to igntion harness cuz you need the current. when you lock and unlock you car does the parking light flash..i will look at work today i am pretty sure i have a wiring diagram for that.
