Windshield Washer Switch: Description and Operation
Right (Wiper) Multi-Function Switch
All of the windshield and rear wiper and washer system switches are integral to the right (wiper) multi-function switch unit, which is secured to the right
side of the multi-function switch mounting housing at the top of the steering column. The only visible part of the right multi-function switch is the control
stalk that extends from the right side of the steering column. The right multi- function switch control stalk has both nomenclature and international
control symbols on it, which identify its many functions. The remainder of the right multi-function switch is concealed beneath the steering column
shrouds.
The wiper and washer system switches cannot be repaired. If these switches or any other circuit or component of the right multi-function switch unit is
faulty or damaged, the entire right multi-function switch unit must be replaced.
A rotary switch knob on the end of the right multi- function switch control stalk is rotated to select the desired windshield wiper continuous speed setting
or one of five intermittent wipe mode delay intervals. The control stalk is pulled toward the driver to activate the windshield washer system. The control
stalk is moved downward to activate the windshield wiper mist function.
A rotary switch ring on the right multi-function switch stalk just below the windshield wiper switch knob controls the rear wiper system functions. The
switch ring is rotated to select the rear wiper delay or continuous wipe modes. The control stalk is pushed away from the driver, toward the instrument
panel to activate the rear washer system.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of the wiper and washer (right multi-function)
switches.
