Wiper Motor: Description and Operation
Pulse Wiper
Operation:
On models with pulse wipers, a pulse control module provides a delay wipe mode through the low speed circuit. When wiper control is in delay position,
battery voltage is supplied to a capacitor in the module through a variable resistor. When the capacitor is fully charged, it activates a switching circuit
which provides a ground to begin wiper operation. As the motor operates, park switch contacts close, the capacitor discharges, and the motor ground is
maintained through the park switch. When wipers complete their cycle, the park switch opens and the capacitor begins to recharge. Delay between wipe
cycles is determined by a variable resistor, which controls charging current to the capacitor. Higher resistance produces a longer delay.
