Intermittent wiper relay circuit
1)Turn the windshield wiper switch to “INT” position.
2)Connect battery positive (+) terminal to terminal “8” and its negative (–) terminal to terminal “5”.
3)Connect voltmeter positive lead to terminal “7” and its negative lead to terminal “5”.
4)Check that the voltmeter indicates the battery voltage (10 – 14 V).
5)Connect terminal “6” and terminal “8” by a jumper wire.
