Wiper/washer System - Front: Overview Ford Escort V рестайлинг

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

The wiper electrical system consists of a wiper motor, interval governor and switch. The motor is located in the engine compartment, on driver-side bulkhead. The interval governor, which provides intermittent wiper function, is located under the driver-side dash panel.

The wiper/washer switch is an integral part of the multifunction switch, mounted on steering column. The wiper/washer switch has 4 positions: OFF, INTERMITTENT, I (LOW speed) and II (HIGH speed). Pulling the switch down activates MIST function, which cycles the wipers once to clear the windshield of light moisture. Pulling the switch back activates the washer system.

The INTERMITTENT position cycles the wipers intermittently every 15-20 seconds to maintain visibility in light rain. A variable speed intermittent system, which provides adjustable wipe cycle frequency, is also available as an option.
