WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The component parts of this system and their functions are described in the\
following table.
Parts NameFunction
Wiper Switch
This switch changes the current from the wiper motor in order to operate\
the wiper motor
at different speeds.
It also has a built±in variable resistor which is used to adjust the \
interval for intermittent
operation.
Wiper RelayThis relay turns the current to the wiper motor ON and OFF at intervals \
and operates the
wipers continuously when the washer switch is ON.
Wiper MotorSwitching of the current at the wiper switch and wiper relay operates th\
e motor at each speed
(HI, LO) and at intervals (INT), thus moving the wiper arms and blad\
es.
Washer SwitchBy grounding current from the washer motor, this switch operates the washer motor.
Washer MotorA pump in this motor pumps washer fluid and sprays it out from the washe\
r nozzles.
