Reverse Gear Wiper Function
With the ignition switch in position II, a feed from fuse 2 of the passenger compartment fusebox (C581-4) is connected by a green wire to the reverse lamp switch (C163-1). When reverse gear is selected, the switch is operated and the feed passes from the switch (C166-1), via a header joint, to the CCU (C428-4) on a green and brown wire.
With the front windscreen wipers selected on, a feed from fuse 3 of the passenger compartment fusebox (C582-10) is connected to the front windscreen wiper motor park switch (C030-1) by a light green wire. When the front wipers are operating, the feed passes through the park switch (C030-4) and is connected by a brown and light green wire to the CCU (C430-1).
The combined feeds from the reverse lamp switch and front windscreen wiper motor park switch are used as a signal to provide an earth path within the CCU. The earth path allows a feed from fuse 8 of the passenger compartment fusebox, to pass through the CCU (C429-5) to the rear wiper relay (C124-7) on a yellow and black wire. This energizes the coil of the forward relay which provides an earth from the rear screen wiper motor (C388-1) on a green and red wire to the rear wiper relay (C124-9). The earth path is completed from the relay (C124-4) to earth header joint (C551-1) by a black wire.
A feed is supplied from fuse 30 of the passenger compartment fusebox (C583-4) to the rear wiper relay (C124-2) on a purple and red wire. The feed passes through the contacts of the reverse relay and is connected from the rear wiper relay (C124-6) to the rear screen wiper motor (C388-2) by a green wire. This operates the rear screen wiper motor in the forward direction.
