Front Wiper and Washer Systems

Intermittent wiper operation is achieved through the charging and discharging of the intermittent controller condenser. With the combination (windshield wiper/washer) lever in the INT position, the front wipers begin to operate at low speed. By the time the wiper motor makes one complete rotation, the condenser in the intermittent controller has discharged. Current flow to the wipers is then cut off until the condenser is recharged (approximately six seconds). When the wash switch is engaged while the intermittent wipers are activated, the wipers will begin to operate at low speed until the wash switch is released. When the switch is released, the wipers will resume intermittent operation.
