Sebring Convertible V6-2.5L SOHC 24 Valve (1996)
Wiper Switch: Description and Operation
CIRCUIT OPERATION
When the MIST switch is activated, and the wiper switch is in the OFF position, a multi-plexed signal is sent to the Body Control Module (BCM)
on circuit V52. The BCM then turns the wipers on LOW speed for as long as the switch is held.
The BCM turns the wipers ON by providing a ground path for circuit V14. This causes the intermittent wipe relay to switch from its normally
grounded position and connect circuit A5 to circuit V5. The A5 circuit is protected by a 40 Amp fuse located in cavity 14 of the PDC.
The V5 circuit is connected to the HI/LOW Wiper relay low speed side. Voltage is passed through the relay to circuit V3, then to the LOW speed
side of the wiper motor Ground for the wiper motor is provided on circuit Z1.
If after the MIST switch is released and the wiper control switch is no longer in the OFF position, the wipers will enter the mode indicated by the
wiper control switch.
As the windshield wiper motor turns, the park switch internal to the motor moves from its grounded position to the open RUN position. The BCM
uses input from the park switch, on circuit V55, for wiper position and system operation.
