Wiper/washer Systems 14 illustrations ~4969 words

DESCRIPTION

Models may be equipped with either the standard type system or the multiplex pulse wiper system. The standard system has 2 speeds for wiper operation. A single or steady wiping action can be obtained. On this system the electrical wiring for the motor and gearbox are internally routed through motor casting.

On the multiplex pulse wiper system, the speed of the wiping action can be controlled. With wiper switch in "DELAY" mode, knob can be turned from "MIN" (minimum) to "MAX" (maximum) position to vary the amount of delay between the wiping operation. Delay ranges from zero to 12 seconds depending on position of knob. "MIN" delay or zero seconds between wipes provides equivalent of "LO" (low) speed continuous operation. This system can be identified by a single exposed Black/Pink wire to the timing circuit. (Scheme 1)

Scheme 1

Scheme 1: DESCRIPTION

STANDARD SYSTEM

Standard systems consists of 2 speeds, either high or low. When washer button is depressed, wiper motor operates and drives the washer pump to deliver washer fluid to windshield as long as switch is depressed.

MULTIPLEX PULSE SYSTEM

The motor operation is controlled by the dash switch consisting of a combination of switches and a variable resistor. The parking and pulse relays are used for motor operation.

A timing circuit consisting of a capacitor, variable resistor and integrated circuit board are used to control the time that the pulse wiper operation exists. The washer system requires the use of 3 relays and a integrated circuit board containing resistors and capacitors for the operation of the piston type water pump.
