Wiper trouble
This is an interesting one...
My wipers stopped auto-parking when turned off. I took an educated guess that it was the motor going out (hindsight says I should have tested it first). Indeed the connectors were all corroded enough that they broke on removal, so I installed a new one ($45 eBay).
Now the wipers do not work on int, slow, with the wash, and they still don`t auto-park.
I tested the new motor - all good. Tested the relay - all good. Tested the switch (and cleaned the contacts) - all good. Must be the ICU...
Stay tuned...ordered a new `to me` one off eBay for $20...

Good news the wipers are fixed. The ICU was not the issue. When I was installing the new motor, one of my new connectors - which was not crimped properly - came off (blue wire I believe). Just could not see it.
During testing I noted that I had poor connectivity at two of the connectors for the switch under the dash. Pulled apart the individual connectors, gave them a quick sand, and all was good.
Quite pleased - note that Acura did not put a mark on the housing for the linkages, so if you take the motor out make sure you mark the orientation of the link for an easy and correct install...
On to the next issue...intermittent no start. Thinking it is the main relay...
