Intermittent Operation (Front and Rear Wipers)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The BCM controls the front and rear wipers, when the wipers are in the intermittent mode. When the BCM receives an input from the front or rear wipers switch, the BCM controls the input into the front or rear wiper relay. The BCM will energize the front or rear relay commanding the wipers On. There are 3 intermittent positions for the front or rear wipers. The intermittent switch (located in the wiper switch) sends inputs to the BCM indicating the speed the wipers should be in. Below is a table for the front and rear wipers indicating the time delay for each intermittent mode:
