Slow speed

When slow speed wipe is selected, the windscreen wash/ wipe switch (C0035) connects the RLG wire from the windscreen wiper motor (C0030) to earth on a B wire between the windscreen wash/ wipe switch (C0035) and an earth header (C0018). The windscreen wiper motor operates continuously at slow speed. When the windscreen wash/ wipe switch is selected off, the earth path for the windscreen wiper motor is routed through the multi function ECU and the windscreen park switch, and the motor stops when the windscreen park switch opens.

Fast speed

When fast speed wipe is selected, the windscreen wash/ wipe switch (C0035) connects the ULG wire from the windscreen wiper motor (C0030) to earth on the B wire between the windscreen wash/ wipe switch (C0035) and the earth header (C0018). The windscreen wiper motor operates continuously at fast speed. When the windscreen wash/ wipe switch is selected off, the earth path for the windscreen wiper motor is routed through the multi function ECU and the windscreen park switch, and the motor stops when the windscreen park switch opens.

Flick wipe

When flick wipe is selected, the windscreen wash/ wipe switch (C0035) connects the ULG wire from the windscreen wiper motor (C0030) to earth on the B wire between the windscreen wash/ wipe switch (C0035) and the earth header (C0018). The windscreen wiper motor operates at fast speed while the windscreen wash/ wipe switch is held in the flick wipe position. When the windscreen wash/ wipe switch is released, the earth path for the windscreen wiper motor is routed through the multi function ECU and the windscreen park switch, and the motor stops when the windscreen park switch opens.

Windscreen washers

When windscreen wash is selected, the feed from fuse 13 in the passenger compartment fuse box is connected to a LGB wire between the windscreen wash/ wipe switch (C0035) and the windscreen washer pump (C0008). The windscreen washer pump (C0008) is earthed on a B wire connected to an earth header (C0018 on LHD, C0017 on RHD) and operates continuously while windscreen wash is selected.
