Wiper/Washer Systems: Description

Jeep vehicles use a 2-speed electric motor, which is a compound wound (series and shunt) type. A crank arm, attached externally to gear shaft, operates linkage which activates wiper blades.

All models have an optional intermittent feature. All models use an electric washer system consisting of a motor, reservoir, and necessary hoses and nozzles.

The pump assembly is mounted in bottom of reservoir. The motor case is grounded to vehicle body and is energized by a feed wire from control switch.

Some Cherokee and Wagoneer models are equipped with rear wipers. The rear motor is a single-speed motor with an automatic park feature. The circuit is protected by a separate 4.5-amp circuit breaker attached to brake pedal support.
