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.
JWIPER AND WASHER SYSTEMS 8K - 1

The two pivot cranks are joined by a connecting link,
and a drive link connects the motor crank to the drive
link near the left pivot. Pressed-in plastic bushings in
the ends of the links can be replaced if worn or dam-
aged.
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR
The two-speed permanent magnet wiper motor has
an integral transmission and park switch. The motor
is mounted to the engine side of the cowl panel with
a reinforcement/stud plate and a rubber-isolated
mounting bracket. The wiper motor output shaft
passes through the cowl panel into the cowl plenum
area, where a 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 crank arm, mounting bracket, and re-
inforcement/stud plate are available for service.
LIFTGATE WIPER MOTOR
The liftgate wiper motor contains integral elec-
tronic controls and a transmission to provide three
operating modes:
²intermittent wipe with a fixed 5 to 8 second delay
between wipes
²constant wipe that operates when the liftgate
washer is 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.
The liftgate wiper motor can not be repaired. If
faulty, the entire assembly must be replaced.
WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER SWITCH
Controls for the windshield wiper and washer sys-
tems are contained in the multi-function switch con-
trol lever. The multi-function switch is mounted on
the left side of the steering column between the
steering wheel and the instrument panel. This switch
also controls many other functions. The multi-func-
tion switch can not be repaired. If any function of the
switch is faulty, the entire switch must be replaced.
LIFTGATE WIPER/WASHER SWITCH
The single two-function switch on the instrument
panel right of the steering column controls the lift-
gate wiper and washer functions. The rocker-type
switch features a detent in the WIPE position, but
only momentary contact in the WASH position. Both
the liftgate wiper and liftgate washer motors will op-
erate continuously for as long as the switch is held in
the WASH position. The switch can not be repaired;
if faulty, it must be replaced.
INTERMITTENT WIPE MODULE
In addition to low and high speed, the optional inter-
mittent wipe system has a delay mode. The delay mode
has a range of 2 to 15 seconds. The length of the delay
is selected with a variable resistor in the wiper (multi-
function) switch and is accomplished by electronic cir-
cuitry within the intermittent wipe module. If the
washer knob is depressed while the wiper (multi-func-
tion) switch is in the OFF position, the intermittent
wipe module will operate the wiper motor for approxi-
mately 2 wipes and automatically turn the motor off.
The intermittent wipe module is mounted to the
lower instrument panel, behind the knee blocker and
near the steering column with a hook and loop fas-
tener patch. The module can not be repaired.
WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLES
The two fluidic washer nozzles are riveted into
openings in the cowl grille panel below the wind-
shield and are not adjustable. Washer fluid is fed to
the nozzles through hoses clipped to the underside of
the cowl grille panel. The nozzles can not be repaired
and, if faulty, should be replaced.
LIFTGATE WASHER NOZZLE
The single liftgate washer nozzle snaps into place
on the liftgate wiper arm. Washer fluid is fed to the
nozzle from the washer reservoir in the engine com-
partment. A liftgate washer hose system is routed
through the body of the vehicle with the body wiring
harness from the reservoir to the liftgate. The fluid
passes through a nipple on the liftgate wiper motor
output shaft bezel to a hose clipped to the underside
of the wiper arm. The nozzle can not be repaired and,
if faulty, should be replaced.
WASHER RESERVOIR
The washer solvent reservoir is mounted to the left
front inner fender shield near the cowl panel. The
same reservoir is used for both the standard front
and optional liftgate washer systems. It also has a
provision for a low washer fluid level sensor. Refer to
Group 8E - Instrument Panel and Gauges for diagno-
sis and service of the sensor. The reservoir and filler
cap are available for service.
WASHER PUMPS
The washer pump and motor are press-fit into a
rubber grommet near the bottom of the washer res-
ervoir. Vehicles with the optional liftgate wiper/
washer system have two pumps installed in the
single reservoir. A permanently lubricated and sealed
motor is coupled to a rotor-type pump. Washer fluid
is gravity fed from the reservoir to the pump. The
pump then pressurizes the fluid and forces it through
the plumbing to the nozzles when the motor is ener-
gized. The pump and motor can not be repaired. If
faulty, the entire assembly must be replaced.

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.
