Wiper Motor: Description and Operation
Permanent Magnet Motor
Fig. 3 Permanent Magnet Type Windshield Wiper Motor W/Pulse Wipers
Front
The front wiper system consists of a permanent magnet positive park pulse wiper, a washer pump mounted under the washer bottle and a turn signal
type wiper/washer switch. The die cast aluminum housing of the wiper provides superior cooling of internal parts, Fig. 3.
An electronic circuit board controls all the timing and washer commands. When the washer button is pushed for more than .3 seconds, a demand wash
is performed in 1.5 second intervals for as long as the button is held followed by approximately 6 seconds of dry wipes and a shutoff.
Turning switch to either the Lo or Hi speed position completes the circuit and runs at that speed. The pulse and demand wash functions are controlled
by a plug-in printed circuit board enclosed in the wiper housing cover. Turning switch to the Pulse position operates the motor intermittently and the
delay can be varied by rotating the switch. An instantaneous wipe can be obtained by rotating the switch to the Mist position and a continuous wipe will
be performed if the button is held.
Rear
The rear wiper system consists of a permanent magnet positive park single speed wiper mounted to the rear glass. A wiper arm is mounted directly
onto the wiper motor and operation is controlled by a two position dash mounted switch. The wiper/washer switch has a momentary wash and wipe
position and must be turned off manually. The wiper motor is serviced as an assembly.
