Most likely the wiper motor is bad the second wire sould be a ground if you set meter to ohms you sould be able to get a low resistance to any good ground on the vehicle if the hot wire is hot any time key is on the bcm is controling the ground to operate moter and you should have a steady continuity on the ground side with switch on the fast postion an it will read on and off in the intermitant postion if both wires test good motor is bad when you replace motor let it cycle and shut it off before installing the arm on it . To remove the motor the procedure is as follows:-- REMOVAL
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the rear wiper arm from the rear wiper motor output shaft.
From the outside of the liftgate, remove the rear wiper motor output shaft nut (Rear Wiper Module Remove/Install).

Why do windshield wipers work on low speed only?

Check the wires to your wiper motor. You may have a loose connection. Otherwise your wiper motor may be burning out, or the switch is malfunctioning. Try jiggling the switch in all directions with the wipers on high. I have a feeling its the switch not the motor.

Front wipers will not operate. checked fuse and relay look ok. back wiper works

Here are a few other things to check beside the fuse and relay:

Check Wiper Motor - the wiper motor is the driving force of the windshield wiper. Feel the motor and listen to a humming sound. If there is no humming, the motor is the problem. Check if the motor is working properly and see to it that its electrical connections are made properly. If you find that the motor is dead and beyond repair, get it replaced immediately.

Check For Break in Connecting Wires - the connecting wires of the motor sometimes go loose and that may cause the windshield wipers to stop working. Also check the battery plug connection which the motor has. Connecting the loose wires properly or fixing/replacing the plug might solve your problem.

Check Wiper Switch - another wiper assembly part that can malfunction is the wiper switch itself. Check for switch malfunction and if you find that is indeed the problem, get it replaced from a mechanic.

Check for Bent Wiper Arms - bent wiper arms can cause the operation of the wipers to be hampered. If the wiper arms are bent beyond repair, get them replaced immediately.

My windshield wipers don't work but the rear wipers and washer works..do I need to replace the wiper motor? If so, where is it located and how do I replace it?

Check fuses, front and back wiper motors run on different fuses. Test for power and ground at front wiper motor wires. If you have power and ground there your wiper motor may be toast. Good luck

3. Pull old rear wiper motor and install a new rear wiper motor.

Renault Megane H/Back - 1999

HI
Well im a girl and know nothing about cars and just had a nightmare with my wipers. Went to 3 garages yesterday who checked the motor and fuses and they were fine. They all said it was the wiper relay which I have had to order from Benfield motors-they are now selling the parts for renault...they didnt have a clue to be honest! The lads in Kwik Fit have been amazing and very helpful! Hope this helps. I am waiting for my relay to be delivered...so fingers crossed!!
