Windshield Wipers/Washer System Description

The windshield wiper/washer system consists of the following components:
^ A permanent-magnet
^ Depressed-park
^ A wiper motor
^ A transmission
^ Wiper arm and blade assemblies
^ A washer pump mounted on a washer fluid reservoir
^ A wiper/washer switch

Pulse and timing functions, along with the demand wash function, are controlled by a printed circuit board in the wiper motor cover. The wiper motor also is equipped with Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) suppression.

Depressed-park positioning is accomplished by an external drive mechanism on the wiper motor.
