Front Wiper Control

When intermittent or mist operation of the windshield wiper is selected, battery voltage from the wiper switch is applied to the front wiper input of the BCM. The ECM responds by switching circuit 1445-to-ground. This action energizes the front wiper relay, providing low speed operation of the wiper motor during single swipes.

Control of the wiper during continuous LO or HI speed switch settings is direct wired from the wiper switch to the wiper motor and is not under the control of the BCM.
