Wiper/Washer Systems: Description

Two speed permanent magnet windshield wiper motor is used. The 2-speed motor uses a 3 brush plate and switch assembly. Motor is operated at low speed (control selector is in low position) by grounded brush and Blue wire on "E" models, and by grounded brush and White wire brush on all other models.

To operate motor at high speed, (control selector in high position), grounded brush and White wire brush are used to operate motor at high speed on "E" models and grounded brush and Blue wire brush on all other models. When control selector is moved to park position, motor will continue at low speed until park switch lower contacts open, stopping motor in park position.

Optional interval wipers are available on all models. Intermittent operation is controlled by a variable resistor in the windshield wiper control switch, which combined with the electronic governor allows a variable pause between wiping cycles.

For normal operation on "F" models, turn wiper control knob to right for low or high speed. For intermittent operation, rotate wiper control knob to left. The more the knob is rotated to left, the greater the time interval between wiper blade sweeps.

On "E" models the wiper switch knob slides toward the right with the first position being intermittent, the second is low and the third is high. As the control is moved to the left of intermittent position, the interval between blade sweeps is at a maximum. As the control moves to the right of intermittent detent, the blade sweep interval is reduced.

The electric windshield washer system consists of an instrument panel control switch integral with the wiper control switch, a reservoir and motor assembly, nozzles and connecting hoses.
