CHEVROLET
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Type "C" two speed electric wiper assembly (fig.
74) incorporates a depressed park type (blades park
against windshield lower molding when the motor is
turned off) motor and gear train. The wiper has a com-
pound wound 12 volt motor and a gear box section con-
taining the gear mechanism and relay control. The motor
armature is fitted with a worm gear which drives the
main gear assembly and crank arm.
The relay control, consisting of a relay coil, relay
armature and switch assembly, is located in the gear box
section bid controls the starting and stopping of the wiper
through a latching mechanism (fig. 75).
An electric washer pump is mounted on the gear box
section of the wiper and is driven by the wiper unit gear
assembly (fig* 75).
The overhaul procedures for the wiper are broken down
into three major areas: The motor section, gear box
section and washer pump section. Each section maybe
serviced independently of the other.

6. The car begins to descend a hill--car speed in-
creases slightly and the regulator movements oc-
curing above occur again except in reverse. The
rubber drum is turned further against spring tension
and the air bleed orifices are uncovered more. This
bleeds more air to the Servo reducing the vacuum in
the unit. The diaphragm moves away from the
vacuum port, closes the throttle slightly, and with-
draws the tapered needle from the vacuum orifice.
With the orifice enlarged, the increased vacuum
counteracts the increased air bleed and the dia-
phragm finds a balance again at a reduced throttle
opening.
7.
Driver accelerates by pressing accelerator pedal-
car speed increases and the system responds by
moving the diaphragm to decrease throttle opening.
Since a bead chain is used, the chain merely relaxes
and has no effect on throttle operation. After the
driver releases pressure from the pedal, the throttle
will close until car speed decreases to the pre-set
speed. At that point the Regulator bleeds less air
to the Servo which opens the throttle enough to
maintain the pre-set speed. The system returns to a
stable condition.
8. Driver desires higher controlled speed, presses ac-
celerator until new speed is reached, and depresses
Engagement Switch fully and releases button--speed
sensing assembly tries to turn in a direction that
would decrease the throttle opening until the driver
fully depresses the Engagement Switch. Then the
current is cut off to the solenoid which retracts; the
solenoid nose expands the "U" clip releasing its
grip on the rubber drum. The drum and disk as-
sembly then rotates to a new position because of the
higher car speed. When the solenoid retracts, it also
shuts off vacuum to the Servo and opens the vacuum
port to atmospheric pressure within the Regulator
thereby bleeding down the Servo toward idle throttle
position. As the driver releases the Engagement
Switch, the contacts cause "pull in" and "hold in" of
the solenoid respectively. The system is engaged to
maintain the car speed at the time of Engagement
Switch release.
9. Driver desires lower cruising speed, presses En-
gagement Switch fully, waits until car speed de-
creases to desired speed then releases Switch--when
the Engagement switch is fully depressed the sole-
noid is de-energized causing the vacuum switch to
bleed down the Servo to idle throttle position and the
"U"
clip of the idle bleed valve is released from the
rubber drum. The drum and disk assembly is free
to rotate to a position which corresponds to vehicle
speed as the car slows. When the driver releases
the Engagement Switch, the unit "pulls in" and "holds
in" in the normal manner. The air bleed valve is
clutched to, the rubber drum at the car speed during
switch release. Vacuum is again applied to the
Servo and throttle control is assumed by the Regu-
lator to maintain the car speed at the time of switch
release.
10.
With system in operation, driver applies brakes--
simultaneously the Vacuum Release and Electric
Release Switches operate. The Vacuum Switch
bleeds air into the Servo through the air bleed line
coming from the Regulator. The vacuum is reduced
in the Servo and the throttle returns to idle position.
The Electric Release Switch cuts off power to the
entire system and the solenoid is de-energized. If
the driver removes his foot from the brake pedal the
Electric Switch again feeds voltage to the Engage-
ment Switch and the Vacuum Switch seals the air
bleed line. If the vehicle speed is above 20 mph
when this occurs, reduced voltage will flow to the
solenoid through the 40 ohm wire which will not be
sufficient to "pull in" the unit. If vehicle speed is
below 20 mph no current will flow since the tang
on the rubber drum has opened the low limit switch
points in the Regulator. In either case, after de-
pressing the brake pedal, the system will not con-
trol car speed until the driver operates the engage-
ment switch above 20 mph.
SERVICE OPERATIONS
The components of the Cruise Master system are de-
signed to be replaced should they become inoperative.
The Regulator is calibrated in such a manner during
manufacturing that overhaul operations are impractical.
However, one adjustment may be made to the Regulator to
correct speed drop or increase at the time of
engagement.
BRAKE RELEASE SWITCHES
ELECTRIC
Service — An inoperative switch must be replaced.
Switch replacement is identical to standard brake lamp
switch replacement.
Adjustment- The brake switch plunger must clear the
pedal arm when the arm is moved 1/4 inch measured at
the switch (Figure 7).
VACUUM
Service
—
An inoperative (sticking, plugged, or leaking)
switch must be replaced. Switch replacement is similar
to brake switch replacement. Be certain that the hose to
the switch is connected firmly and is not cracked or
deteriorated.

Adjustment- Adjust the bead chain so that it is as tight
as possible without holding the throttle open when the
carburetor is set at its lowest idle throttle position.
When connecting the bead chain (engine stopped) manually
set the fast idle cam at its lowest step and connect the
chain so that it does not hold the idle screw off the cam.
If the chain needs to be cut, cut it three beads beyond the
bead which pulls the linkage.
REGULATOR
Service - A defective regulator, that is one which is not
simply out of adjustment, must be replaced. During re-
placement, check the hoses which connect to the regulator
and replace any which are cracked or deteriorated.
Air Filter
The air filter located in the solenoid cover should be
cleaned and re-oiled at engine oil change intervals.
1.
Snap the solenoid cover off.
2.
Remove the filter and wash it in kerosene or mineral
spirits. Squeeze it dry and wet with SAE 10 engine
oil.
Squeeze out excess oil and reinstall into the
cover.
3.
Attach the cover with neoprene seal to the solenoid
housing. Be certain that the cover fits tightly to the
housing.
One regulator adjustment is possible: Engagement-
Cruising Speed Zeroing (to remove any difference be-
tween engagement and cruising speed).
NOTE:
No regulator adjustment should be
made, however, until the following items have
been checked or serviced:
1.
Bead chain properly adjusted.
2.
All hoses in good condition, properly attached, not
leaking, not pinched or kinked.
3.
Regulator air filter clean and properly oiled.
4.
Electric and vacuum release switches properly
adjusted.
Engagement—Cruising Speed Zeroing
If the cruising speed is lower than the engagement
speed, loosen the orifice tube locknut and turn the tube
outward; if higher, turn the tube inward. Each 1/8 turn
will alter the engagement-cruising speed difference one
mph. Tighten the locknut after adjustment and check the
system operation at 50 mph.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECK OUT
1.
Check fuse and connector.
2.
Check electric brake switch as follows: Unplug con-
nector at brake switch. Connect ohmmeter at points
A and B on brake switch. The ohmmeter must indi-
cate infinity when the brake pedal is depressed and
continuity when pedal is released. The cruise re-
lease brake switch (electric) is adjusted as is the
standard stop light brake switch. Replace electric
brake switch if needed.
3.
Check engagement switch and connecting wiring as
follows: Unplug push button control connector
(brown, blue, black) at electrical wiring harness con-
nector and perform the following tests. (See Fig-
ure 10)
Test #1
—
Connect ohmmeter between terminal #1 (brown
wire) and terminal #2 (blue wire). Continuity shall be
maintained until switch is depressed all the way in.
Test #2
—
Connect ohmmeter between terminal #1 (brown
wire) and terminal #3 (black). No continuity shall be
shown; however, when the button is depressed halfway,
continuity shall be indicated. When the button is pressed
all the way down, no continuity shall be shown.
Test #3 — Connect ohmmeter between terminal #2 (blue
wire) and terminal #3 (black). Button released, no con-
tinuity; however, when the button is depressed partially
and fully, continuity shall be shown.
4.
Check regulator solenoid coil, low-speed switch, and
wiring harness as follows:
a. Disconnect engagement switch wire harness con-
nector from the main wire harness connector
(brown, blue, and black wires). Connect ohm-
meter
'
between point C (blue wire in main wire
harness) and ground. (Make sure the regulator is
well grounded to chassis.) The ohmmeter should
read 45 ohms ± 2 ohms. If a resistance of
greater value is shown, then disconnect the con-
nector from the regulator and measure the re-
sistance of the blue wire from point C to D. It
should measure 40 ohms. Check the resistance
from point E (vertical bar of terminal forming T)
to ground. It should measure 5 ohms ± 1/4 ohm.
Replace either the wiring harness or solenoid as
needed if greater values are indicated. The black
harness wiring from point F to G should also be
checked for continuity.
