NON-DEPRESSED PARK EXC. CITATION, OMEGA, PHOENIX & 1982---85 SKYLARK
Wiper motor internal components, including permanent magnet fields, armature, brush holder and gear train, are enclosed in a die cast aluminum
housing with a plastic cover, Fig. 10. The brush holder contains a circuit breaker and park switch as well as common, low and high speed brushes, and it
is located at the gear box end of the motor.
The common brush is connected to ground through the wiper motor ground strap. Battery voltage is supplied to the wiper switch and motor park
switch fixed contacts through a fuse in the fuse block. Motor speeds are determined by supplying voltage through the wiper switch to the low or high
speed motor brush, and when wiper switch is in off position, voltage supplied to the motor park switch allows wipers to park at the bottom of their travel.
Pulse wiper operation, if equipped, is controlled by a variable resistor in the wiper switch and by a pulse module connected between the wiper motor and
switch.
Standard (Non-Pulse) Wiper Operation
When ignition is on, battery voltage is supplied to low and high speed contacts in the wiper switch and to motor terminal 4, Fig. 10. Placing wiper
switch in low or high position completes the feed circuit to motor terminal 2 (low speed brush) or terminal 1 (high speed brush), Fig. 10. Current flows
through the armature to ground through the common brush, and the motor runs at the selected speed.
Placing wiper switch in off position connects the motor low speed brush to park switch terminal 3, Fig. 10. Current flows through the closed park
