Replacing the wiper control unit on a 1999 honda accord

Are they all on the turn signal arm

should be located under the hood close to the windshield on the passenger side of vehicle. it will be marked clearly on top

A couple of DIY things come to mind..
1, make sure you have a good ground connection from the battery to car ie not corroded, clean good connection both ends.
2. The ICU (integrated control unit) is failing or has some corrosion on the connectors. It's on the back of the fuse box.

•Intermittent Wiper Control Circuit
•Side Marker Flasher Circuit
•Seat Belt/Key-in Beeper Circuit
•Lights-on Reminder Circuit
•Low Oil Pressure Flasher Circuit
•Rear Window Defogger Timer Circuit

2 things.

1 bad connections on the motor itself under the skuttle panel below the window screen.

2 the stalk from the steering wheel is broken, they have small metal parts inside they sometimes come lose and stop working, just replace it.

You could have debirs in the pump or in the line. some units have screens that can get clogged up. Do make sure fuse is in place and tight. There may also be a relay that could be loose or faulty. You can check with an ohmmeter.

97 honda accord that the wipers dont work, they only work when you hold down the mist conroller arm. It has the intermittent controls on the wipers also.

Intermittent wiper control stopped working on my 1996 GM last spring. I ended up replacing the wiper motor ($100.00 part). Since I have found it on Amazon for $58 including shipping. It works fine now. Only bad part was all the "stuff" that has to come out (like dead leaves!) to get to the wiper motor. Also make sure you have your wipers in the down position when you replace the motor.

I promise this works 'cause I used it:


Put the key in the ignition, move the intermittent wiper control to the middle possition and then turn the key on.

just to clarify it's the ring that controlls the intermittent wiper speed and not the int / low/ high switch.


What this does is it resets the multiplex unit that controlls the accessories such as the power door locks. This problem usually happens once the battery has been removed or disconnected and reconnected. Every once in a while the multiplex systems lock up. Especially on the 98s. That's how you wake em up.

This really sounds like a switch problem, if it was anything to do with the wiper motor or other parts of the circuit it would not work in any mode, mist or otherwise.
