System Operation

The rear window wiper/washer system on utility vehicles uses a positive-park, permanent magnet wiper motor mounted on the tailgate. A wet-arm wiper assembly attaches directly to the wiper motor. Operation is controlled by an instrument panel-mounted, wiper/washer switch. The rear wiper/washer switch, when pushed to the wash position, will activate the wiper motor and the washer pump. The wiper motor will operate and then park automatically after the washer pump has stopped. The rear wiper/washer switch. when pushed to the delay position, will activate the wiper automatically in delay. To turn the wiper off from delay, push the rear wiper/washer switch to the right.

The wiper motor is serviced as a unit. No overhaul kits are available. The controlled is not part of the wiper motor and can be replaced separately.

The washer hose routes from the solvent container along the cowl and passes through a grommet near the center of the cowl. The hose follows the rear lamp harness routing along the center of the vehicle's floor. After the second seat, it continues along the left side of the cargo area. over the left rear wheel area, then up the left rear corner of the vehicle. The washer hose passes through a second grommet on the ear window. then attaches to the wiper arm assembly.
