concealed behind the fuse access panel and the steer-
ing column opening panel, where it is secured with
screws to the steering column. The wiper system
functions of this module are passive on vehicles
equipped with the optional automatic wiper system.
Hard wired circuitry connects the wiper and
washer system components to the electrical system of
the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to
several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout
the vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the wiper and washer
system components through the use of a combination
of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
The wiper and washer system is designed to pro-
vide the vehicle operator with a convenient, safe, and
reliable means of maintaining visibility through the
windshield glass. The various components of this sys-
tem are designed to convert electrical energy pro-
duced by the vehicle electrical system into the
mechanical action of the wiper blades to wipe the
outside surface of the glass, as well as into the
hydraulic action of the washer system to apply
washer fluid stored in an on-board reservoir to the
area of the glass to be wiped. When combined, these
components provide the means to effectively main-
tain clear visibility for the vehicle operator by remov-
ing excess accumulations of rain, snow, bugs, mud, or

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIPER &
WASHER SYSTEM
If the wiper motor operates, but the wipers do not
move on the windshield, replace the faulty wiper
linkage module. If the washer pump/motor operates,
but no washer fluid is dispensed on the glass; or, if
the wipers operate, but chatter, lift, or do not clear
the glass, clean and inspect the wiper and washer
system components as required. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING) and
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS -
INSPECTION). For diagnosis and testing of the
multi-function switch (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/MULTI-FUNC-
TION SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
wiper and washer system may be diagnosed andtested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
intermittent wipe logic circuitry contained within the
fuse block underneath the steering column, the rain
sensor within the base of the rear view mirror on the
windshield, or the rain sensor control module under
the instrument panel.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, or instrument panel component diagno-
sis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery
negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for
the system capacitor to discharge before perform-
ing further diagnosis or service. This is the only
sure way to disable the supplemental restraint sys-
tem. Failure to take the proper precautions could
result in accidental airbag deployment.

RAIN SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The rain sensor provides the primary input for the
optional automatic wiper system (Fig. 6). The rain
sensor is located on the inside of the windshield,
where it is concealed within the molded plastic trim
cover that snaps over the base of the rear view mir-
ror arm. The sensor fits within the center of a ring-
like molded plastic bracket that is glued to the inside
of the windshield glass and that also serves as the
support for the rear view mirror.
The rain sensor is contained within a circular
molded black plastic housing with a short pigtail
wire and a connector insulator containing three ter-
minal cavities that exits one side of the housing. This
pigtail connects the rain sensor to the vehicle electri-
cal system through a dedicated take out and connec-
tor of the overhead wire harness that extends from
above the headliner. A molded plastic trough routes
and conceals the pigtail wires on the inside of the
windshield between the rear view mirror base and
the headliner.
The windshield side of the rain sensor housing is
open, but covered with a clear gelatin-like material
that protects the internal electronic sensor circuitry
and serves as the lens for the InfraRed (IR) diodes
and photocells within the sensor housing. This gel
coating must never be touched or the rain sensor
function may be impaired and the unit rendered
unusable. The rain sensor cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if damaged or faulty, the entire sensor
must be replaced. The sensor bracket and a rear viewmirror adhesive kit are available for separate service
replacement.
OPERATION
The rain sensor operates on battery current and a
clean ground received from the rain sensor control
module. The rain sensor contains InfraRed (IR)
diodes that direct IR light beams at the windshield
at an angle. When the windshield glass is dry, most
of this IR light is reflected back to the sensor, which
uses photocell receivers to measure the intensity of
the light. When moisture accumulates on the wind-
shield glass, much of the IR light is refracted away
from the photocell receivers. This causes changes in
the signal output of the rain sensor. The rain sensor
control module monitors the signal output from the
sensor and then controls the wiper motor speed and
wipe intervals accordingly.
It is important to note that the default condition
for the wiper system is automatic wipers Off; there-
fore, if no message is received from the rain sensor
by the rain sensor control module, the automatic wip-
ers will be disabled. If automatic wipers are disabled,
normal low and high speed continuous wiper opera-
tion are unaffected. Also, due to the low voltage
nature of the rain sensor signal and the impact that
minor fluctuations in this signal strength can have
on wiper operation, grounded shielding circuits are
provided at the roof and control module connectors to
control electrical induction into the sensor signal cir-
cuit.
The hard wired rain sensor circuits may be diag-
nosed using conventional diagnostic tools and meth-
ods. However, conventional diagnostic methods may
not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the internal
circuitry or the optics of the rain sensor. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
RAIN SENSOR BRACKET REPLACEMENT
The rain sensor fits within the center of a ring-like
molded plastic bracket that is glued to the inside of
the windshield glass and that also serves as the sup-
port for the rear view mirror arm. If the bracket
should come loose from the windshield, it must be
reinstalled using a rear view mirror adhesive kit and
the procedure that follows.

The two washer nozzles have integral mounts with
snap features that secure them near the tops of the
two wiper arms on the windshield. The lower surface
of the washer nozzle has an integral barbed nipple
that connects to the washer hose, and three nozzle
orifices are oriented to dispense the washer fluid on
the windshield glass throughout the wiped area of
the glass (Fig. 15). The washer nozzles are con-
structed entirely of molded plastic. The washer noz-
zles cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or
damaged, they must be replaced.
OPERATION
The two washer nozzles are designed to dispense
washer fluid into the wiper pattern area on the out-
side of the windshield glass. Pressurized washer fluid
is fed to each nozzle from the washer reservoir by the
washer pump/motor through rubber hoses, which are
attached to a barbed nipple on the underside of each
washer nozzle below the wiper arm. The three ori-
fices of each nozzle causes the pressurized washer
fluid to be emitted generously in several streams
throughout the travel of the wiper arm to more effec-
tively cover a larger area of the glass to be cleaned.
REMOVAL
(1) Using hand pressure, unsnap the washer noz-
zle from the wiper arm (Fig. 16).
(2) Disconnect the hose from the barbed nipple of
the washer nozzle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Reconnect the hose to the barbed nipple of the
washer nozzle (Fig. 16).
(2) Using hand pressure, slide the washer nozzle
onto the wiper arm until it snaps into place. Be cer-tain the nozzle snap feature is engaged in the locator
hole on the wiper arm.
WASHER PUMP / MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The washer pump/motor unit is located in a dedi-
cated hole on the top of the sump area near the back
of the windshield washer reservoir on the right front
fender wheel house in the engine compartment (Fig.
17). A small permanently lubricated and sealed elec-
tric motor is coupled to the rotor-type washer pump.
An inlet nipple on the bottom of the pump housing
passes through a rubber grommet seal installed in
the dedicated mounting hole in the washer reservoir.
A small barbed outlet nipple near the bottom of the
pump housing connects the unit to the washer hose.
The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the res-
ervoir by the interference fit between the inlet nipple
and the grommet seal, which is a light press fit. An
integral electrical connector receptacle is located on
the top of the motor housing.
An optional version of the washer pump/motor unit
incorporates an integral washer fluid level switch.
This version can be distinguished from models with-
out the switch by a vent nipple at the top of the
switch housing that is connected to a vent hose that
is retained in an integral clip behind the filler cap
near the top of the reservoir, and by a third terminal
pin in the washer pump/motor connector receptacle.
The washer pump/motor unit cannot be repaired. If
faulty or damaged, the entire washer pump/motor
unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
The wiper arms are designed to mechanically
transmit the motion from the wiper pivots to the
wiper blades. The wiper arm must be properly
indexed to the wiper pivot in order to maintain the
proper wiper blade travel on the glass. The tapered
mounting hole in the wiper arm pivot end interlocks
with the serrations on the outer circumference of the
wiper pivot shaft, allowing positive engagement and
finite adjustment of this connection. The mounting
nut locks the wiper arm to the threaded end of the
wiper pivot shaft. The spring-loaded wiper arm hinge
controls the down-force applied through the tip of the
wiper arm to the wiper blade on the glass. The hook
formation on the tip of the wiper arm provides a cra-
dle for securing and latching the wiper blade pivot
block to the wiper arm.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the washer nozzle hose from the
elbow fitting on the cowl top panel near the pivot end
of the wiper arm (Fig. 24).
CAUTION: The use of a screwdriver or other prying
tool to remove a wiper arm may distort it. This dis-
tortion could allow the arm to come off of the wiper
pivot during wiper operation, regardless of how
carefully it is reinstalled.
(2) Unsnap the end of the pivot cover from the
wiper blade pivot end, then pull the cover away from
the wiper arm hinge pin to remove the cover from
the wiper blade.(3) Remove the nut that secures the wiper arm to
the wiper pivot shaft.
(4) If necessary, use a suitable battery terminal
puller to disengage the wiper arm from the wiper
pivot shaft (Fig. 25).
(5) Remove the wiper arm pivot end from the
wiper pivot shaft.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Be certain that the wiper motor is in the park
position before attempting to install the wiper arms.
Turn the ignition switch to the On position and
move the right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-
function switch to its Off position. If the wiper piv-
ots move, wait until they stop moving, then turn the
ignition switch back to the Off position. The wiper
motor is now in its park position.
NOTE: The wiper arms and wiper blades for this
model are both unequal in length, with the longer
arm and blade being installed on the left (driver)
side of the windshield.
(1) The wiper arms must be indexed to the wiper
pivot shafts with the wiper motor in the park posi-
tion to be properly installed. Position the wiper arm
pivot ends onto the wiper pivots so that the lower
edge of the wiper arm tip is aligned with the black
wiper alignment line located near the lower edge of
the windshield glass (Fig. 24).
(2) Once the wiper blade is aligned, lift the wiper
arm away from the windshield slightly to relieve the
spring tension on the pivot end and push the pivot
hole in the pivot end of the arm down firmly and
evenly over the wiper pivot shaft. Gently lower the
wiper arm until the wiper blade rests on the glass.
