Introduction

WARNING: VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH AN AIRBAG, REFER TO AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS/AIR BAG

The windshield wipers will only operate with the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY or IGNITION RUN position. The wiper circuit is protect against over loads by a fuse in the fuse block and a circuit breaker within the wiper motor. This protects the circuitry of the wiper system and the vehicle.

The wiper motor has permanent magnet fields.

The intermittent wiper system, in addition to low and high speed, has a delay mode and a pulse wipe mode. The delay mode has a range of 1 to 15 seconds. Pulse wipe is accomplished by momentarily moving the stalk lever into the WASH position while the wiper switch is in either OFF or DELAY position. The wiper blades then sweep once or twice and return to the previous wiper switch mode, OFF or DELAY.

The intermittent wiper function is integral to the wiper switch. All electronics and relay are inside the switch assembly

The wiper system completes the wipe cycle when the switch is turned OFF. The blades park in the lowest portion of the wipe pattern.

NOTE: This information covers both Left-Hand Drive (LHD) and Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of this model. Whenever required and feasible, the RHD versions of affected vehicle components have been constructed as mirror-image of the LHD versions. While most of the illustrations used represent only the LHD version, the diagnostic and service procedures outlined can generally be applied to either version. Exceptions to this rule have been clearly identified as LHD, RHD, or Export if a special illustration or procedure is required.
