Wiper Operation
The wiper switch is controlled by a lever built into the combination switch.There are three wiper switch positions:
^ LO speed
^ HI speed
^ INT (Intermittent)
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
^ through 20 A fuse (No. (16) ,located in the fuse block)
^ to wiper motor terminal (2).
Low and high speed wiper operation
Ground is supplied to wiper switch terminal (17) through body ground (E42).
When the wiper switch is placed in the LO position, ground is supplied
^ through terminal (14) of the wiper switch
^ to wiper motor terminal (4).
With power and ground supplied, the wiper motor operates at low speed.
When the wiper switch is placed in the HI position, ground is supplied
^ through terminal (16) of the wiper switch
^ to wiper motor terminal (5)
With power and ground supplied, the wiper motor operates at high speed.
Auto stop operation
With wiper switch turned OFF, wiper motor will continue to operate until wiper arms reach windshield base.
When wiper arms are not located at base of windshield with wiper switch OFF, ground is provided
^ from terminal (14) of the wiper switch
^ to wiper motor terminal (4), in order to continue wiper motor operation at low speed.
Ground is also supplied
^ through terminal (13) of the wiper switch
^ to wiper amplifier terminal (4)
^ through terminal (8) of the wiper amplifier
^ to wiper motor terminal (1)
^ through terminal (6) of the wiper motor, and
^ through body ground (F15).
When wiper arms reach base of windshield, wiper motor terminals (1) and (2) are connected instead of terminals (1) and (6). Wiper motor will then stop wiper arms at the PARK position.
Intermittent operation
SE grade models
The wiper motor operates the wiper arms one time at low speed at a set interval of approximately 3 to 13 seconds. This feature is controlled by the wiper amplifier.
When the wiper switch is placed in the INT position, ground is supplied
^ to wiper amplifier terminal (1)
^ from wiper switch terminal (15)
^ through body ground (E42).
^ to wiper motor terminal (4).
^ through the wiper switch terminal (14).
^ to wiper switch terminal (13).
^ through wiper amplifier terminal (4).
^ to wiper amplifier terminal (7)
^ through body ground (F15).
The desired interval time is input
^ to wiper amplifier terminal (2)
^ from wiper switch terminal (19).
The wiper motor operates at low speed at the desired time interval.
BASE grade models
The wiper motor operates the wiper arms one time at low speed at an interval of approximately 7 seconds. This feature is controlled by the wiper amplifier.
When the wiper switch is placed in the INT position, ground is supplied
^ to wiper amplifier terminal (1)
^ from wiper switch terminal (15)
^ through body ground (E42)
^ to wiper motor terminal (4)
^ through the wiper switch terminal (14)
^ to wiper switch terminal (13)
^ through wiper amplifier terminal (4)
^ to wiper amplifier terminal (7)
^ through body ground (F15).
