Wipers and Washer both don't work

Hello all,

So my wipers and my washer don't work on my Civic 2014 EX Coupe. I've checked all the fuses and they're all OK.
I wanted to check also the relays but couldn't find the ones for the washer and wipers.
Also, it's two different circuits that control these wipers and washers, so logically the chances that both of these break is very low.
I measured the voltage on some of the pins of the connector that plugs in the switch, and there is voltage on them. So my conclusion would be that the switch is broken.

What do you think?

Thanks.

you can test the switch for continuity

I wouldn't conclude that without a thorough understanding of how it works, and appropriate testing.

You will measure some sort of voltage on some of the wires at the switch. That alone can't indicate if the switch is bad or good.



I wouldn't conclude anything without serious testing. That could include a thorough check of every fuse in both of the fuse boxes, a capable scanner that can access the body systems, a good wiring diagram, and a DVOM.
If you have a good wiring diagram for that car, you should be amazed at how involved the system is.
