n00b, '89 Z31 wipers no worky
 

Hi, first time user, here's the deal: friend of mine has an '89 Z and his wipers don't work...at all. He says they simply stopped working. No intermittents, no low, no high, nothing. Kaboom, kaput. I scanned through your search engine, but found nothing related. I know Sentras and Pulsars inside-out, but the Z looks like a battlefield.

Asked the owner of the car if he checked the fuse; he said he did, perfectly fine. We swapped out the wiper motor and switch...nothing. Now it comes down to two players before wiring gets suspected: the relay and the wiper module. I can't find either on this da*n thing. Somebody told me the wiper module box was located on the steering column under all that plastic above the knees, is this true? As far as the relay: I looked everywhere under the hood, saw nothing that said "Wiper" on any relay cover. All I need to know is where to locate the wiper relay and wiper module box, I can pretty much figure out the rest. Any help would be both welcome and very appreciated, thanks!

Nevermind, someone else got to 'em, problem solved, that much the wiser now.

so 3-4 days ago I jumped in and started my 79 up and had this same problem. They had worked just fine the last time I was in the car and now nothing (as well as my turn signals no longer working) I know that there is a 10 year difference between the cars, but........what was the fix for your friends car?
