No AC, no wipers, Help, please

Post by mark a »

Any input on this problem would be greatly appreciated. I have no wipers or washers. My AC clutch is not engaging. The two codes I'm getting are P1107 and P1546. Everything else elec. and mech. seem to be working. Any ideas on this problem would greatly help. Thankyou. Mark A.

Wipers could be this:

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=15390

P1107 - Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Circuit Intermittent Low Voltage - Check the connection, make sure it is clean and dry and seated. It is located on the rear side of the SC. Close to where the transmission dipstick comes up.
P1546 - Air Conditioning Clutch Relay Control Circuit - Start by looking at the connector on the frond of the AC compressor. It will be just behind the pulley and belt.

thanks for the reply. I forgot to add that I also replaced the AC clutch relay when this happened. It's also wierd that both things seemed to happen at the same time. I will check for damage to the wiper motor and circut board from theinfo you sent me. I also checked all fuses. All seemed to be fine. Thanks for the help. I'll reply after I check that motor.

Those wipers can be a pain, I have dealt with them in my '03 SSEi way too many times, finally had enough of it after replacing the unit three times and it messing up again, I took it apart and dried it up good then used RTV all around the edge where it comes together as well as around the plug and put a line on the vent hole and turned it down so water couldn't just drip inside it. Been trouble free now for over a year, before they would die or start to freak out after a couple months.

Usually before the wiper module goes out, there is intermittent problems with it as well - wipers will run at random times for no reason even when the switch is off, when the switch is on the wipers will be jittery and sometimes stop for a second then start back up, and sometimes they will just randomly not work at all for a little while then take back off like nothing ever happened.
