Wiper/Washer Systems: Description

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

Intermittent operation is controlled by a variable resistor in windshield wiper control switch. Electronic governor receives this signal and allows a variable pause between wiping cycles.

Electric washer system consists of a control switch incorporated into wiper switch, a reservoir and motor assembly, nozzles and connecting hoses.

On Bronco and "F" series, circuit breaker is located in wiper control switch on systems using rotary-type switch. On "E" series, circuit breaker is fuse panel-mounted for systems using slide control switch. Amperage ratings for rotary and slide circuit breakers are 7 and 7.5 amps respectively.
