Help needed Front Electronic Module FEM 2002-2005

[PLE999]

Since you stated that at times the wipers and the washers do not work, I would start by checking the power and ground circuits for the windshield wiper motor, the windshield washer motor and the multifunction switch.

Power is supplied to the wiper motor from the 30 amp fuse (F1. 24) in the Auxiliary Junction Box under the hood and the 3 amp fuse (F2. 26) in the Central Junction Box in the passenger compartment kick panel.

Ground point G203, is located below the right side of the dash panel, ground point G202, is located at the left A-pillar and ground point G101, is located at the left front of the engine compartment.

Inside the wiper motor is a microprocessor, along with the wiper and washer relays. There are pinpoint tests that can be performed to determine if the wiper motor or the multifunction switch is defective.

Everything else is working. Any chance is it just the wiper motor, itself? I found a new one on Ebay for $43. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1742741627...pid=5338236430&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

FYI, used the link for the refurbish on eBay https://ebay.us/iBkiek for the FEM for my 2002 (171,000 miles) worked like a charm. Solved my following problems.

Headlights would completely turn off by themselves
Windshield Wiper settings all out of wack Low was off, intermittent was high, Off was intermittent. Wipers would turn on by themselves randomly
Driver window would sometimes not go up
Horn would not work intermittently, Horn would not sound when hitting the door lock button on remote twice
Power Steering not there (mentioned in this thread)

The driver’s side window not dropping when the door is open is one of the most common problems caused by a defective F.E.M. Check for faults stored in all of the control modules before condemning the FEM.
