GENERAL DESCRIPTION

M1511000100268

OPERATION
Low-speed wiper operation

• When the rear wiper switch is placed in the "ON" 

position with the ignition switch in the "ACC" or 
"ON" position, wiper operate continuously at low 
speed.

Auto wiper stop operation

• When the rear wiper switch is placed in the "OFF" 

position, the cam contacts of wiper motor causes 
current to flow through the auto wiper stop circuit, 
allowing the wiper blades to cycle before they 
reach to the stop positions.

Intermittent wiper operation

• When the rear wiper switch is placed in the 

"INTERMITTENT" position with the ignition 
switch in the "ACC" or "ON" position, the rear 
intermittent wiper relay contacts to close and 
open repeatedly.

• When the contacts are closed, the wiper motor is 

energized.

• When the rear wiper motor is energized, the rear 

intermittent wiper relay contacts open; however, 
the cam contacts keep the rear wiper motor ener-
gized until the wiper blades return to their stop 
position.

Washer-wiper operation

• When the rear washer switch is turned "ACC" or 

"ON" position, current flows through multi-pur-
pose fuse number 8 remote-controlled mirror 
switch, remote-control mirror, remote-controlled 
mirror switch, and ground, causing the mirror to 
move.
