Hey this has been a problem of mine for a while but I forgot to ask. When I push the button to turn on the wipers and the fluid It works for two passes and then stops before completing the cycle and going back to the bottom of the windshield. They also stop immediately if I turn them off after being on. It is really annoying to have them stop in the middle of my view of the road.

Is this normal behavior or should I srart taking the thing apart? TIA

 

Mine does the exact same thing, except mines a 1st gen 4runner I have no idea what the issue is. I'll be subscribing to see if anyone has an answer.

 

no they should return. at least mine do! sounds like the relay/switch is the problem.

 

It's in the motor: http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...yota/wiper.png

Easiest fix is to slap in a used motor.

 

Hi thanks for the pic but its not for my model. Here is mine.



I tested it per the manual and when I have the jumper from 3 to 5 and power to 6 the wipers go back to the correct stopping position. What is this testing and if it works when tested why not when operated from the switch? Thanks.

 

Dont know why but they started working again. I cleaned the connection up a bit so maybe that was it. The wiring seems fine I tested that too.

 

I had the same issue and it turned out to be the power wire. You have a wire going to the motor that is always hot if the ignition is on. This is what allows it to return to 'park' when you turn them off. It sounds like you fixed the connection with this wire, for the others, just check this hot wire, or make a hot jumper and see if it makes you wipers work correctly.
