Unplug the BCM under the driverside kick panel against the firewall. Then plug it back in this module controls about 90% of all interior functions. If the lights come back replace the BCM.

Wipers not working 2009 Pontiac G6 Wiper Motor where is the fuse located so that I can check it? Before I replace the motor

Just replacing parts isn't the way to fix this problem , viewing wiring diagrams too see what all is involved in making the wipers work is . Then using a digital volt ohmmeter to test electrical circuits . Also looking at factory service info. to see how it's suppose to work.
Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb/ Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on body & accessories , then under subsystem click on wiper/washer . Click the search button ,then click the blue link. Looking at the wiring diagram i see two fuse's an two relays that are controlled by the BCM - body control module . Also hooking up a scan tool that can read BCM DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes could be helpful . The wiper switch is a input to the BCM - the BCM will energize the relays to turn on the wipers.

Wiper/Washer System Components
The Wiper/Washer System consists of the following components:
• Windshield wiper/washer switch
• Body control module (BCM)
• Wiper 1 relay
• Wiper 2 relay
• Wiper diode
• Windshield wiper motor
• Windshield washer pump
• Windshield washer nozzles
• Windshield washer solvent container
• Windshield wiper arm and blade assemblies
• Windshield wiper transmission
• WIPER/SW 10A fuse
• WIPER 25A fuse

Wiper/Washer System Description
The body control module (BCM) controls wiper motor low speed operation. The washer pump and high speed operation are controlled directly by the wiper/washer switch. The windshield wiper/washer switch supplies voltage on the signal circuits to the BCM for windshield wiper/washer operation. When WASH, MIST, DELAY, LOW, or HIGH is detected, the BCM energizes the wiper 1 relay by suppling voltage to the relay coil. This allows battery voltage from the WIPER fuse to flow through the relay switched input then through the contacts and out the relay contacts to the wiper 2 relay switch contacts. Since the wiper 2 relay switch contacts are normally closed to the low speed circuit of the windshield wiper motor, the motor will operate at low speed.

Wipers work except intermediate. How do I fix that?

Yes, These 2 issues could be related. I would check the wiper relay in the fuse panel under the left side of the dash. I think its on the back side of the relay panel. If that is not the cause I would look into the motor itself. Good Luck

Started jeep with snow on windshield, didn,t realize switch was on. wipers quit working. can,t find relay or fuse. can you help me?

The main fuse panel is located in the vehicle, on the left side, under the steering column between the brake pedal and the left side kick panel. The Power Distribution Center (PDC) box is located in the engine compartment by the coolant overflow bottle.

The windshield wiper does not clean the entire windshield. It misses the center. I have replaced the wiper blade. Is there an adjustment for that?

It sounds like you are using the wrong length wiper blades for that vehicle.

Have an auto parts store look up the wiper blades according to the application of your vehicle (the auto part store will tell you the length), and then check to see if the wiper blades that are on your vehicle are actually the same length as what the auto part store said should be on the vehicle.

It is not unusual to find the wrong size wiper blades on those vans. (Having a 20" wiper blade when the application calls for a 22" wiper blade)
