Atomicrider Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 On my 94 XE it’s on the wiper lever. It’s a twist ring next to the intermittent speed setting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msavides Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thank you .. It was there. I am really only used to 90-91 pathfinders where it is a separate switch. However looks like there is one more thing to work on, as the rear wiper is not moving. When I put spin the switch I hear a click back there but not wiper blade. Perhaps the motor is bad.

Slartibartfast Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Yep, round dash got the rear washer control moved to the stalk. The plastic trim on the rear door comes off pretty easily and gives you access to the wiper mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msavides Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Pulled off the rear hatch panel, the rear wiper wireing was all melted. I had to rebuild the wiring. Then found the cause. The wiper motor was seized. The motor should be fused somewhere but could not find a fuse anywhere. ordered replacement used motor and installed. All is now working great. hopefully it does not happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I had a look at EL-49 of the '95 manual and it looks like the rear wiper, washer, and glass hatch all run off the same 10A fuse (top row, second from the left). Maybe the seized motor wasn't pulling quite enough power to pop the fuse, but enough to melt the wires after a few hours? Check the fuse as well, make sure someone didn't put a bigger one in when the wiper started acting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 It's the same fuse the power mirrors run off of I believe. Should be a 10 or 15A can't remember. Maybe some idiot put a larger fuse in because it kept popping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msavides Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 here is a new one. the guy used electrical tape to tape the single din car stereo to the pocket,. then since he did not have the bracket to mount it in. He used expanding foam to hold it in. I almost drove the car into a ditch and left it after finding that GEM. Took me almost 4 hours to cleanup that mess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msavides Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 when it was sold to me they said the stereo did not work. it was obvious why, the foam filled in just about every vent in the stereo, I am sure it overheated. went straight into the trash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
