8J - 8 TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD WARNING SYSTEMSJ
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 turn signal switch lever.
The turn signal switch lever is mounted on the left
side of the steering column between the steering
wheel and the instrument panel. The wiper/washer
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 in-
termittent 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 switch and is accomplished by electronic cir-
cuitry within the intermittent wipe module. If the
washer knob is depressed while the wiper switch is
in the OFF position, the intermittent wipe module
will operate the wiper motor for approximately 2
wipes and automatically turn the motor off.
The intermittent wipe module is mounted to a
bracket behind the lower instrument panel, near the
steering column with a hook and loop fastener patch.
The module can not be repaired.
WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLES
The two fluidic washer nozzles are screwed into
openings in the cowl panel below the windshield and
are not adjustable. Washer fluid is fed to the nozzles
through hoses underneath the cowl panel. The noz-
zles can not be repaired and, if faulty, should be re-
placed.
LIFTGATE WASHER NOZZLE
The single liftgate washer nozzle is installed
through the liftgate glass and secured with a nut on
the inside of the glass. Washer fluid is fed to the noz-
zle from the washer reservoir in the engine compart-
ment. 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 nozzle
can not be repaired and, if faulty, should be replaced.
WASHER RESERVOIR
The washer solvent reservoir is mounted with a
bracket 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.
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.

MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH TESTING
PROCEDURESÐXJ
The multi-function switch contains electrical cir-
cuitry for:
²Headlamp Dimmer Switch.
²Passing Lights.
²Turn Signals.
²Hazard Warning.
²Windshield Wiper.
²Pulse Wiper.
²Windshield Washer.
This integrated switch is mounted to the left hand
side of the steering column. Should any function of
the switch fail, the entire switch must be replaced.
The multi-function switch also serves as a fog lamp
lock-out circuit. The circuit to the fog lamp switch is
completed only when the dimmer switch is in the low
beam position.
SWITCH TEST
(1) Disconnect battery negative cable.
(2) Remove lower instrument panel screws along
bottom edge of steering column (Fig. 1).
(3) Remove lower instrument panel/knee blocker.
(4) Remove tilt lever.
(5) Remove upper and lower column shrouds to
gain access to the switch connector (Fig. 2).
(6) Remove lower fixed column shroud.
(7) Loosen steering column upper bracket nuts. Do
not remove nuts.
(8) Move upper fixed column shroud to gain access
to rear of multi-function switch.
(9) Remove switch connector (Fig. 3 and 4).
