Fuse 15 is for the lift gate release its a 10 amp fuse in the inside fuse box.

Found that Fuse 17? in my Interior Fuse Panel also controls rear wiper. That too tested ok.

So you have a multi meter to do some testing?

Yes. Tested Ohms at 20k and came up 0.00. Got whistle on continuity. ?? is continuity, right?

Think I'm going to have to pull the trim off and test for voltage at the connector. Would I check for VAC or VDC or does it matter?

Greg

I have 15 VDC at the connector. I'm trying to remove the motor asm, but can't figure out how to remove the pivot arm.

Greg

You have 15 volts DC at the connector?That's too high what is the voltage at the battery at idle?

Set my multeter to 600 VDC, touched my leads to pos and neg on battery and got a reading of 19.

Greg

That's way too much you have a bad multi meter or bad alternator.It should read 13-14 volts DC at idle at the battery.

Try setting the volt meter to 20 volts DC and see wat it reads?If it reads the same try a different meter.

Tried different meter and read at 14VDC. Seems my original meter is out of calibration.

So, assuming my voltage is equivalent down the line and I have power at the motor asm, can I conclude that the asm is dead?

Greg

Do you have a ground to the motor also?You need power and ground to make the motor work.

Yes. Black, white and green.

If you have power and ground and good connection to the motor then you have a bad motor.

Looks like I've got a trip to the JY in the near future.

Sounds like it.
