Wiper/Washer Systems: Description

Windshield wiper motors are two speed design. The systems park wiper blades in non-concealed or concealed (depressed park) positions depending on body style. Two speed motors are controlled by a third brush and resistor for low and high speed operation. All models have a two speed intermittent wiper as optional equipment which has a delay mode. The delay mode has a range of 2 to 15 seconds and is accomplished by a variable resistor in the panel switch controlled electrically by a relay. System provides an extra wipe after wash during delay mode, and an anti-streak park system.

Liftgate wiper motors are single speed design and include a washer system.

The 2-speed wiper on Horizon and Omni has a "pulse wipe" system. By depressing wiper control knob, intermittent wiper/washer action is activated until control knob is released.
