GENERAL INFORMATION - XJ
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the XJ (Cherokee) wiper and washer
systems. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for
complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM
A two-speed wiper system is standard equipment
on all left-hand drive XJ models. An optional inter-
mittent wipe system is available. The intermittent
wipe system is standard equipment on all right-hand
drive XJ models. The two-speed wiper system allows
the driver to select from two wiper speeds. The inter-
mittent wipe system allows the driver to select from
two wiper speeds or an intermittent wipe feature
that allows a delay between wipes of 2 to 15 seconds.
Refer to the owner's manual for more information on
wiper system controls and operation.
The wipers will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ACCESSORY or ON position. A cir-
cuit breaker near the fuseblock module protects the
circuitry of the wiper system on left-hand drive mod-
els. The circuit breaker is in the fuseblock module on
right-hand drive models.
WINDSHIELD WASHER SYSTEM
A electrically-operated windshield washer system is
standard equipment on all XJ models. The washers will
operate only when the ignition switch is in the ACCES-
SORY or ON position. A circuit breaker near the fuse-
block module protects the circuitry of the washer
system. Refer to the owner's manual for more informa-
tion on washer system controls and operation.
LIFTGATE WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
A liftgate wiper/washer system is an available op-
tion on XJ models. The liftgate wiper is a fixed cycle
intermittent wipe system. A single switch on the in-
strument panel controls both the liftgate wiper and
washer functions. These systems will operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON position. Fuse
1 in the fuseblock module protects the circuitry ofboth the liftgate wiper and washer. Refer to the own-
er's manual for more information on liftgate wiper/
washer system controls and operation.
WIPER ARMS, BLADES, AND ELEMENTS
All XJ models have two 18-inch windshield wiper
blades with replaceable rubber elements (squeegees).
Models with the liftgate wiper option use a single 12-
inch wiper blade with a replaceable rubber element
(squeegee).
Caution should be exercised to protect the rubber
squeegees from any petroleum-based cleaners or con-
taminants, which will rapidly deteriorate the squee-
gee rubber. If squeegees are damaged, worn or
contaminated they must be replaced.
Wiper squeegees exposed to the weather for a long
time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness. Periodic
cleaning of the squeegees is suggested to remove de-
posits of salt and road film. The wiper blades, arms
and windshield or liftgate glass should be cleaned
with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent or non-
abrasive cleaner. If the squeegees continue to streak
or smear, they should be replaced.
The blades are mounted to spring-loaded wiper
arms. Spring tension of the wiper arms controls the
pressure applied to the blades on the glass. The
windshield wiper arms are attached by an integral
latch to the two wiper pivots on the cowl grille panel
at the base of the windshield. The liftgate wiper arm
is attached by an integral latch directly to the lift-
gate wiper motor output shaft on the liftgate panel.
The wiper arms and blades can not be adjusted or re-
paired. If faulty, they must be replaced.
WIPER LINKAGE AND PIVOTS
The wiper pivots are fastened to the cowl top panel
with screws beneath the cowl cover/grille panel. Each
pivot assembly can be replaced by removing the cowl
grille panel, unsnapping the linkage bushing(s) from
the pivot crank arm pins, and removing the mount-
ing screws.

GENERAL INFORMATION - YJ
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the YJ (Wrangler) wiper and washer
systems. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for
complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM
A two-speed wiper system is standard equipment
on all YJ models. An optional intermittent wipe sys-
tem is available. The standard system allows the
driver to select from two wiper speeds. The optional
intermittent wipe system allows the driver to select
from two wiper speeds or an intermittent wipe fea-
ture that allows a delay between wipes of 2 to 15 sec-
onds. Refer to the owner's manual for more
information on wiper system controls and operation.
The wipers will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ACCESSORY or ON position. A cir-
cuit breaker in the fuseblock module protects the cir-
cuitry of the wiper system.
WINDSHIELD WASHER SYSTEM
A electrically-operated windshield washer system is
standard equipment on all YJ models. The washers
will operate only when the ignition switch is in the
ACCESSORY or ON position. A circuit breaker in the
fuseblock module protects the circuitry of the washer
system. Refer to the owner's manual for more infor-
mation on washer system controls and operation.
LIFTGATE WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
A liftgate wiper/washer system is an available op-
tion on YJ models equipped with the optional hard-
top. The liftgate wiper is a fixed cycle wipe system. A
single switch on the instrument panel controls both
the liftgate wiper and washer functions. These sys-
tems will operate only when the ignition switch is in
the ON position. Fuse 1 in the fuseblock module pro-
tects the circuitry of both the liftgate wiper and
washer. Refer to the owner's manual for more infor-
mation on liftgate wiper/washer system controls and
operation.
WIPER ARMS, BLADES, AND ELEMENTS
All YJ models have two 12-inch windshield wiper
blades with replaceable rubber elements (squeegees).
Models with the liftgate wiper option use a single 16-
inch wiper blade with a replaceable rubber element
(squeegee).
Caution should be exercised to protect the rubber
squeegees from any petroleum-based cleaners or con-
taminants, which will rapidly deteriorate the squee-
gee rubber. If squeegees are damaged, worn or
contaminated they must be replaced.
Wiper squeegees exposed to the weather for a long
time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness. Periodiccleaning of the squeegees is suggested to remove de-
posits of salt and road film. The wiper blades, arms
and windshield or liftgate glass should be cleaned
with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent or non-
abrasive cleaner. If the squeegees continue to streak
or smear, they should be replaced.
The blades are mounted to spring-loaded wiper
arms. Spring tension of the wiper arms controls the
pressure applied to the blades on the glass. The
windshield wiper arms are attached by an integral
latch to the two wiper pivots on the windshield frame
at the base of the windshield. The liftgate wiper arm
is attached by an integral latch directly to the lift-
gate wiper motor output shaft on the liftgate glass.
The wiper arms and blades can not be adjusted or re-
paired. If faulty, they must be replaced.
WIPER LINKAGE AND PIVOTS
The wiper pivots are fastened to the windshield
frame with nuts. The pivots and linkage are serviced
through access holes in the interior side of the lower
windshield frame. The two pivots and their connect-
ing link are serviced as a unit. The drive link, which
connects the motor crank arm to the left pivot, is ser-
viced separately.
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR
The two-speed permanent magnet wiper motor has
an integral transmission and park switch. The motor
is mounted to a cover plate on the interior side of the
lower windshield frame. The wiper motor output
shaft passes through a gasket and the cover plate
into the space between the inner and outer lower
windshield frame, where the crank arm attached to
the output shaft drives the wiper drive link.
Wiper speed is controlled by current flow to the ap-
propriate set of brushes. The wiper motor completes
its wipe cycle when the switch is turned OFF, and
parks the blades in the lowest portion of the wipe
pattern. The wiper motor assembly can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the entire motor assembly must be
replaced. The cover plate, gasket and drive link to
crank arm retaining ring are available for service.
LIFTGATE WIPER MOTOR
The liftgate wiper motor operates in three modes:
²constant wipe that operates when the liftgate
wiper/washer switch is placed in the Wipe position
²constant wipe that operates when the liftgate
washers are operated
²a park mode that runs the motor until the wiper
blade reaches the park position after the liftgate
wiper switch or ignition switch is turned OFF.

DIAGNOSIS............................. 1
GENERAL INFORMATION.................. 1SERVICE PROCEDURES................... 3
GENERAL INFORMATION
The electrically-heated rear window defogger is an
available option on XJ (Cherokee), and YJ (Wrangler)
models equipped with the hardtop roof option. Fol-
lowing are general descriptions of the major compo-
nents in the rear window defogger system. Refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit de-
scriptions and diagrams.
REAR WINDOW GLASS GRID
The heated rear window glass has two electrically-
conductive vertical bus bars and a series of horizon-
tal grid lines made of a silver-ceramic material,
which is baked on and bonded to the inside surface of
the glass. The grid lines and bus bars comprise a
parallel electrical circuit.
When the rear window defogger switch is placed in
the ON position, current is directed to the rear win-
dow grid lines through the bus bars. The grid lines
heat the rear window to clear the surface of fog or
snow. Circuit protection for the heated grid circuit is
provided by fuse 18 (XJ) or fuse 6 (YJ) in the fuse-
block module.
The grid lines and bus bars are highly resistant to
abrasion. However, it is possible for an open to occur
in an individual grid line resulting in no current flow
through the line. The grid lines can be damaged or
scraped off with sharp instruments. Care should be
taken in cleaning the glass or removing foreign ma-
terials, decals or stickers. Normal glass cleaning sol-
vents or hot water used with rags or toweling is
recommended.A repair kit is available to repair the grid lines and
bus bars, or to reinstall the heated glass pigtail
wires.
DEFOGGER SWITCH
The rear window defogger switch is mounted in the
instrument panel left of the steering column for XJ,
or right of the steering column for YJ. The switch cir-
cuit is protected by fuse 8 (XJ) or fuse 9 (YJ) in the
fuseblock module. Actuating the switch energizes the
relay and electronic timer. A light-emitting diode
(LED) in the switch (XJ), or a indicator lamp in the
switch (YJ), illuminates to indicate when the system
is turned on. The defogger switch can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the switch must be replaced.
DEFOGGER RELAY/TIMER
The defogger relay/timer is located in the relay cen-
ter on XJ models, or taped to the instrument panel
wiring harness behind the parking brake pedal in the
left cowl side area on YJ models. When the rear de-
fogger switch is actuated, the rear defogger relay is
energized. This causes current to flow through the
grid circuit for approximately 10 minutes, or until
the rear window defogger switch or ignition switch
are turned off.
DIAGNOSIS
SYSTEM TESTS
Electrically-heated rear window defogger operation
can be confirmed in the following manner:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) Turn rear window defogger control switch ON.
(3) Monitor vehicle voltmeter. With the control
switch ON, a distinct needle deflection should be
noted.(4) The rear window defogger operation can be
checked by feeling the glass. A distinct difference in
temperature between the grid lines and adjacent
clear glass can be detected within 3 to 4 minutes of
operation.
(5) Using a DC voltmeter, contact terminal A (Fig.
1) (passenger side) with the negative lead, and termi-

With defogger relay connector separated from de-
fogger relay; turn ignition switch to ON for voltage
tests, or turn ignition switch to OFF for resistance
tests.
(1) Measure voltage at relay connector terminal 4.
The meter should read battery voltage. If OK, go to
next step. If not OK, repair open from fuse 18 (XJ) or
fuse 9 (YJ).(2) Measure voltage at relay connector terminal 5.
The meter should read battery voltage. If OK, go to
next step. If not OK, repair open from fuse 8 (XJ), or
fuse 6 (YJ).
(3) Measure resistance between relay connector
terminal 1 and left side (driver's side) of defogger
grid. The meter should read zero ohms. If OK, go to
next step. If not OK, repair open between relay con-
nector and left side of defogger grid.
(4) Measure resistance between relay connector
terminal 2 and a clean chassis ground. The meter
should read zero ohms. If OK, go to next step. If not
OK, repair open between relay connector and ground.
(5) Connect relay connector and measure voltage
at terminal 3. The meter should read approximately
5 volts. If not OK, replace defogger relay.
