I'm not sure the pump itself has a relay. There's a wiper relay. If the wiper relay is at fault, I would imagine you'd have that problem any time you use the wipers and not just when using the washer though.

In my buddies Jimmy he had the same issue. Turned out the wiper switch was warn and ever time he pushed it in to use the washer, it internally was staying on. He had to click the wipers on and then back off for them to turn off. Just a second option if the relay doesn't get ya there.

    the fsm shows no relay, and that means bad control or bad switch. pick one or do the FSM tests.

Front or rear?
nice guess, huh? asking for something, never seen, or shown
in the schematic? well i logged into alldata.com and there is no such thing.

why not ask why, it does this an not guess.
this car has a 1 wire wiper motors.
that means all actions are the reults of this,,,,,

windshield wiper control module , WWCM?
so it its bad.
or its inputs are wrong. (logic)

there are only 2 inputs from the Multifucition switch
if they are wrong, the wiper will fail
if they are correct then the WWCM is bad.

2002 Corvette Wipers wont shut off

If the windshield wipers on your 2002 Corvette won't shut off, it could indicate a problem with the wiper control switch or a malfunction in the wiper motor circuit. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the wiper control switch: Ensure that the wiper control switch is in the "Off" position. Sometimes, the switch can get stuck or malfunction, causing the wipers to stay on. Try moving the switch back and forth a few times to see if that resolves the issue.
  2. Inspect the wiper motor relay: The wiper motor relay controls the power supply to the wiper motor. If the relay gets stuck or fails, it can cause the wipers to stay on. Locate the wiper motor relay in the fuse box or relay panel and try replacing it with a known working relay of the same type to see if that resolves the issue.
  3. Check the wiper motor circuit: The wiper motor circuit may have a short or an electrical problem that is keeping the wipers engaged. Inspect the wiring harness connected to the wiper motor for any signs of damage or loose connections. Use a multimeter to check for continuity and proper voltage in the circuit. If you are not familiar with automotive electrical systems, it is advisable to consult a professional technician or a qualified electrician.
  4. Disconnect the battery: As a temporary solution, you can disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery to stop the wipers from running. This will disable other electrical components as well, so it's recommended as a temporary measure until the issue can be properly diagnosed and repaired.

The wipers quit on the 2006 Chevy Colorado. They are on separate motors. We have replaced both fuses and both relays, and now have replaced the multi-function switch on the steering column

wipers-yvtjdmwsd3lmjasjqz1fi5jn-6-0.jpg My database only shows one wiper motor. Did you check voltage and ground, anywhere? Check the wiper fuse for voltage, hot all the time, use test light. At the wiper motor, dark green wire is voltage for lo speed. The purple wire is voltage for hi speed, Turn on key, turn on wiper switch, probe those two wires for voltage, use a test light. That bottom black wire off wiper motor, in diagram, is ground, check that also. If good voltage and ground with no wiper action, I suspect the wiper motor. There are codes for wiper, manufacturer codes, check for codes. good luck

Windshield Wiper/Washer System Components
The windshield wiper/washer system consists of the following components:
• Windshield wiper/washer switch
• Windshield wiper motor
• Windshield washer pump
• Windshield washer relay
• Outside moisture sensor
• FRT WIPER 25A fuse
• W/S WASH 15A fuse
Windshield Wiper/Washer System Operation
Accessory voltage and ground is supplied to the windshield wiper motor and provides the power for operating the wiper motor and logic power to the wiper motor module. The WASH, MIST, LOW, and DELAY modes are controlled by the windshield wiper/washer switch through a series of internal resistors. The windshield wiper switch supply voltage circuit is a 12-volt reference from the wiper motor module to the wiper/washer switch, and the switch position determines the point on the resistor assembly where the reference voltage is applied. The windshield wiper switch signal 1 circuit supplies the voltage from the resistor assembly to the wiper motor module and the signal voltage determines the operating mode. High speed operation is controlled by the windshield wiper/washer switch through the windshield wiper switch high signal circuit. The windshield wiper switch high signal circuit is supplied 12 volts by the wiper motor module and when the wiper/washer switch is turned to the HIGH position the windshield wiper switch high signal circuit is grounded through the switch ground circuit. The windshield washer pump is controlled through the windshield wash relay. The windshield wash relay coil and switch is supplied battery positive voltage, and during WASH mode the wiper motor module grounds the washer relay control circuit energizing the relay. When the relay is energized battery positive voltage to the switch side of the relay is supplied to the washer pump control circuit.

Wipers will not turn on 2006 colorado

There are two relay's in the under hood fuse / relay box . Wiper relay an wiper relay 2 . Maybe one is bad . also check fuse #14 25 amp. Wiper fuse.Plus the BCM - body control module has a hand in making the wipers work . Are you familiar with automotive electronic control modules ?
The Wiper/Washer System consists of the following components:
• Windshield wiper/washer switch
• Body control module (BCM)
• Wiper micro relay
• Wiper 2 relay
• Wiper diode
• Windshield wiper motor
• Windshield washer pump
• Windshield washer nozzles
• Windshield washer solvent container
• Windshield wiper arm and blade assemblies
• Windshield wiper transmission
• WIP/WASH 10A fuse
• WIPER 25A fuse

Wiper/Washer System Description
The body control module (BCM) controls wiper motor low speed operation. The washer pump and high speed operation are controlled directly by the wiper/washer switch. The windshield wiper/washer switch supplies voltage on the signal circuits to the BCM for windshield wiper/washer operation. When WASH, MIST, DELAY, LOW, or HIGH is detected, the BCM energizes the wiper micro relay by suppling voltage to the relay coil. This allows battery voltage from the WIPER fuse to flow through the relay switched input then through the contacts and out the relay switched output to the wiper 2 relay switch contacts. Since the wiper 2 relay switch contacts are normally closed to the low speed circuit of the windshield wiper motor, the motor will operate at low speed.

How do I find out if the wipers on my 2006 H3 Hummeris on a relay?

The Wiper/Washer System consists of the following components:
• Windshield wiper/washer switch
• Body control module (BCM)
• Wiper micro relay
• Wiper 2 relay
• Wiper diode
• Windshield wiper motor
• Windshield washer pump
• Windshield washer nozzles
• Windshield washer solvent container
• Windshield wiper arm and blade assemblies
• Windshield wiper transmission
• WIP/WASH 10A fuse
• WIPER 25A fuse

Wiper/Washer System Description
The body control module (BCM) controls wiper motor low speed operation. The washer pump and high speed operation are controlled directly by the wiper/washer switch. The windshield wiper/washer switch supplies voltage on the signal circuits to the BCM for windshield wiper/washer operation. When WASH, MIST, DELAY, LOW, or HIGH is detected, the BCM energizes the wiper micro relay by suppling voltage to the relay coil. This allows battery voltage from the WIPER fuse to flow through the relay switched input then through the contacts and out the relay switched output to the wiper 2 relay switch contacts. Since the wiper 2 relay switch contacts are normally closed to the low speed circuit of the windshield wiper motor, the motor will operate at low speed.

Low Speed Operation
When the wiper switch is in the Low position, voltage is supplied through an internal resistor to the signal circuit. The body control module (BCM) monitors the windshield wiper switch signal 1 circuit, and energizes the wiper micro relay which will operate the windshield wiper motor. The wiper motor will operate at low speed, since the wiper 2 relay is de-energized. Low speed can also be commanded with a scan tool, by commanding Wiper Relay Cmd. ON and OFF. Refer to Scan Tool Output Controls .
High Speed Operation
In the High position, the windshield wiper/washer switch supplies voltage to both the wiper micro relay and wiper 2 relay coils. This energizes both relays and allows battery voltage from the wiper micro relay switched output to the switched input of the wiper 2 relay through its contacts and out the switched output of the wiper 2 relay to the high speed circuit of the windshield wiper motor. The windshield wiper motor will operate at high speed. During high speed wiper motor operation the wiper switch signal circuit is at the low speed signal voltage, and the body control module (BCM) supplies redundant voltage to the wiper relay via the wiper diode.

I have a 2007 mustang an the wipers wont turn off I had 2 pull the fuse to turn them off can u help me

The windshield wiper motor is a smart wiper motor with an integrated electronics module. The internal components of the motor are the high/low relay, washer pump relay, and the run/park relay and associated electronics.
The windshield wiper motor receives its inputs from the windshield wiper/washer switch. These signals are ground reference signals. When the switch is placed in different positions, various input signals are selected and sent through circuits to the motor. The windshield wiper motor module identifies these selected input signals and activates the motor to the selected function.!
Your probably going to need a new wiper motor ! ! ! But you should always test before replacing parts !
