         REAR WIPER RELAY TEST

NOTE:    Rear wiper relay test information for Eclipse is not

         available from manufacturer at time of publication.

         Operational Check (Montero)

         1) Relay is located in relay box under left side of dash.

Remove relay from lower right corner of relay box. Connect positive

voltmeter lead to terminal No. 2. Connect negative voltmeter lead to

terminal No. 7. Ensure battery voltage is present, when battery

voltage is connected to terminals No. 4 and 8, and terminal No. 7 is

grounded. See Fig. 12.

         2) With voltmeter connected to terminals No. 2 and 7, ensure

battery voltage is present for intermittent periods of 8 seconds when

positive battery terminal is connected to terminals No. 4 and 5, and

negative battery terminal is connected to terminal No. 7.

         3) With voltmeter connected to terminals No. 2 and 7, ensure

battery voltage is present when positive battery terminal is connected

to terminals No. 4 and 6, and negative battery terminal is connected

to terminal No. 7. Replace relay if voltage is not as specified.

         Operational Check (Montero Sport)

         1) Relay is located in relay box under left side of dash.

Remove relay from lower left corner of relay box. Check for continuity

between terminals No. 1 and 2. See Fig. 12. Continuity should exist.

         2) Connect terminals No. 4 and 5 to positive battery

terminal. Ensure battery voltage is present at terminal No. 2 for

intermittent periods of 8 seconds when terminal No. 7 is connected to

negative battery terminal. Replace relay if voltage is not as

specified.

         Operational Check (3000GT)

         Remove quarter trim. Leave intermittent relay connected to

wiring harness. Operate rear wiper and check voltage at terminal No.

2. See Fig. 11. Zero volts should be present when rear wiper stops.

There should be 12 volts when rear wiper operates.

         REAR WIPER SWITCH TEST

         Eclipse

         1) Remove wiper switch from instrument panel and disconnect

wiper switch wiring connector. Place wiper switch in OFF position.

Continuity should exist between terminals No. 5 and 6. See  Fig. 12.

Place wiper switch in LO position. Continuity should exist between

terminals No. 6 and 7.

         2) Place wiper switch in INT position. Continuity should

exist between terminals No. 3 and 7, and between terminals No. 5 and

6. Depress washer switch. Continuity should exist between terminals

No. 7 and 8. Continuity between terminals No. 1 and 4 should exist in

all positions (light circuit). Replace wiper switch if continuity is

not as specified.
