92 Dynasty Windshield Wipers
I have suddenly developed a problem with the windshield wipers on my '92
Dodge Dynasty. I can't turn them off! Intermittent settings also no longer function. When the switch is in the off position, the wipers are working as if they are at the "low" setting. I can switch it to the "HI" setting, but can't turn them off. I also noticed that the headlight warning has also stopped working. Both were working normally this morning, but just stopped. Any thoughts? '92 Dodge Dynasty, 3.3 L, A604 147000 miles. Bret |

One other bit of info - The power door locks will unlock the doors, but will
not lock them. The doors no longer automatically lock when the car is in motion anymore, either.

Problem resolved.
I found the connector on the TCM to be loose, so I disconnected the battery, disconnected the TCM, cleaned the connections using some electrical contact cleaner, reconnected the TCM and battery. Everything now works as before. "Bret" > wrote in message news > One other bit of info - The power door locks will unlock the doors, but > will not lock them.

The wipers have nothing to do with the TCM/PCM or even the BCM on that model

Perhaps not, but that is what I did, and the problems are gone now. Now the
locks work properly, the wipers work properly and the headlight reminder operates as it should. None of these worked just before I tightened the connection, and all worked properly after I fixed the connection. What else could it have been? Oh, and this car has no BCM to my knowledge. While I don't have a FSM for this car, none of the aftermarket manuals lists a BCM for this car.

There are lots of possible causes, ranging from a dead fuse (do your power locks still work?) to lost ground(s) behind the dash to faulty module(s) behind the IP, to a faulty wiper (multifunction) switch. If by 'headlight warning' you mean the chime that sounds if you leave the headlamps on and open the door, the chime module and the intermittent wiper delay module are both located behind the instrument cluster.
