Front Wiper and Washer

System Outline

With the ignition SW turned on, the current flows to TERMINAL 17 of the wiper and washer SW and TERMINAL 2 of the front wiper motor through the WIP fuse. The current flows to TERMINAL 1 of the front washer motor through the WSH fuse.

1. Low Speed Position
With the front wiper and washer SW turned to LO position, the current flows from TERMINAL 17 of the front wiper and washer SW to TERMINAL 7 to TERMINAL 1 of the front wiper motor to TERMINAL 5 to GROUND and causes the front wiper motor to run at low speed.

2. High Speed Position
With the front wiper and washer SW turned to HI position, the current flows from TERMINAL 17 of the wiper and washer SW to TERMINAL 8 to TERMINAL 4 of the front wiper motor to TERMINAL 5 to GROUND and causes the front wiper motor to run at high speed.

3. INT Position
With the wiper and washer SW turned to INT position, the wiper relay operates and current flows from TERMINAL 17 of the front wiper and washer SW to TERMINAL 2 to GROUND. This activates the intermittent circuit and the current flows from TERMINAL 17 of the front wiper and washer SW to TERMINAL 7 to TERMINAL 1 of the front wiper motor to TERMINAL 5 to GROUND and the wiper operates. Intermittent operation is controlled by a condenser charge and discharge function in the relay.

4. Washer Interlocking Operation
With the front wiper and washer SW pulled to washer position (Washer SW ON position), the current flows from the WSH fuse to TERMINAL 1 of the front washer motor to TERMINAL 2 to TERMINAL 11 of the front wiper and washer SW to TERMINAL 2 to GROUND and causes the front washer motor to run and the window washer to spray. Simultaneously, current flows from the WIP fuse to TERMINAL 17 of the front wiper and washer SW to TERMINAL 7 to TERMINAL 1 of the front wiper motor to TERMINAL 5 to GROUND, causing the wiper to function.
