The Intermittent Mode Properly
THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 08-15-97, DATED APRIL 4, 1997, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES. A LABOR OPERATION NO. WAS REVISED AND IS HIGHLIGHTED WITH **ASTERISKS**.
MODELS:
1996 - 1997 (NS) Town & Country/Caravan/Voyager
1996 - 1997 (GS) Chrysler Voyager (International Market)
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Windshield wipers stop immediately (instead of parking fully down) when the wiper switch is turned "OFF" or continue to wipe for approximately 10 seconds and then stop wherever they are (instead of parking fully down) after being turned "OFF" with either the windshield wiper switch or the ignition switch.
In the intermittent mode, windshield wipers do not pause, or pause after more than one wipe cycle.
Windshield wipers continue to wipe for more than one cycle when turned "OFF" before parking in the correct position.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With a DRB III (Scan Tool) monitor the wiper park switch input to the Body Control Module (BCM) when the windshield wipers are on. If the wiper park switch input status does not change as the wipers are moving, the park switch circuit is faulty.
2. Check for continuity between pin # 41 of the B58 BCM connector and pin # 4 of the wiper module B31 connector, refer to the illustration.
3. Check for continuity between pin # 7 of the B31 wiper module connector and ground.
4. If a problem is found in steps 1 thru 3, perform the Repair Procedure.
