Wipers and Washers - Wipers and Washers
Description and Operation
Windshield Wiper
The single wiper system is driven via a sh ort linkage, by an electric motor installed in (external on later models) a moulded
plastic weatherproof housing o ff the plenum wet area. The motor and housing are secured to the BIW bulkhead by three
bolts at the top and three screws (two on later models) with locking clips at the bottom. The complete assembly is handed
for left or right hand drive installation.
The windshield wiper is operated via the RH control column stalk switch. Operating modes are normal, high speed, flick wipe
and six settings of intermittent operation with delays ranging from 2 to 20 seconds.
Windshield Washer

The windshield washer is of wiper arm mounted running jet configuration. The je t assembly comprises two conventional
nozzles plus four nozzles of silicone rubbe r 'duckbill' design. If the system is initially operated at low ambient temperatures ,
the 'duckbill' nozzles permit an y frozen residual washer fluid to be ejected un der pump pressure. The washer jet feed tube
supplied assembled to the wiper ar m, fits at its lower end onto a central connector on the pl enum cover. Washer fluid is
conveyed by a rubber tube, from the washer pump to the jet assembly via a manifold on the underside of the plenum cover.
The windshield washer pump is installed on the rear face of the washer fluid reservoir. The 6.3 liter washer reservoir is
installed on the RH side of th e vehicle in a cavity formed by the front bu mper, the front wheel arch liner and the brake

lever mechanism driven by an electric motor. A sliding roof control module (SRCM) controls the motor in response to
selections made on the roof console switch , or input from the security system for automatic closing. Both the motor and the SRCM are accessed by removing the roof console.In the event of an electrical failure the sliding roof can be manually
operated. This is achieved by inserting a wide bladed screwdriver into a slot in the motor drive gear and turning clockwise to open or counter clockwise to close the sliding roof.
• NOTE: The drive gear becomes disengaged from the motor during manual operation. Before restoring electrical operation
the drive gear must be rotated one quarter turn in the reverse direction to re-engage the motor.
The SRCM is held in position by clips and has two electrical connectors in terfacing with the motor and the roof console
switch/security system. Prior to installing a new SRCM, the sun ro of must be in a neutral closed position. This provides the
SRCM with a sliding roof datum, to ensure accurate and consistent operation. Obstacle sensin g operates on closing in the
slide mode only. If the sliding roof lid encounters an ob struction between 4mm and 200mm from the closed position, the
SRCM detects increased motor load and reve rses the motor, driving the sliding roof to the fully open position. The sliding
roof lid surround seal has a metal inner sect ion which will deform on removal. If removed, this seal must be discarded and a
new seal must be installed on the lid using a Jaguar approved crimping tool.
