Chosen Solution
I have a 2003 Nissan Murano, my front wipers not working
@jgober0 this is a tough one. There are two things to do 1) check fuses, and 2) perform an “Auto Active Test”. Apparently there are at least 7 fuses that can affect the wiper function. I suggest you check all of the fuses until you find a blown one. Okay here is the weirdest test you can do. It checks all accessories that are affected by the IPDM (intelligent power distribution module) Give it a try and see what happens.
- Close all doors
- Turn ignition OFF
- Turn ignition ON and within 20 seconds, OPEN and CLOSE the driver’s door 10 times, and turn ignition OFF.
- Turn ignition ON within 10 seconds.
- The test is now started and will cycle THREE times.
- You can cancel the test anytime by turning the ignition OFF. Here is what happens if everything is working:
- Rear window defogger turns on for 10 seconds
- Front wipers operate on LOW for 5 seconds, then HIGH for 5 seconds
- Parking lights turn on for 5 seconds
- Fogs lamps turn on for 10 seconds
- Headlights turn on for 10 seconds
- High beam solenoid engages 5 times
- A/C compressor clutch cycles 5 times
- Engine cooling fan cycles between Low (5 seconds) and High (5 seconds). Sounds crazy and I am sure you do not want to do that in front of anybody. They might think you are crazy as well. Anyhow, if your wiper does come on you ruled out a defective switch and/or switch circuit. If not, check fuses and wiper motor.
