Wiper System & Washer System: Overview Ford Freestyle I

Normal Operation

Under normal operation, the windshield wiper motor receives power through circuit 1671 (RD) and is grounded through circuits 1203 (BK/LB) and 1205 (BK). The front wiper motor receives open and ground inputs from the wiper switch through circuits 58 (WH), 61 (YE/RD), 63 (RD) and 950 (WH/BK) to activate the windshield wipers to the selected speeds.

Under normal operation, the rear window wiper motor (Freestyle only) receives power through circuit 406 (BN/WH) and is grounded through circuit 1205 (BK). The rear window wiper motor receives open and ground inputs from the wiper switch through circuits 485 (PK/BK) and 488 (DG) to activate the rear window wiper to 1 of the 2 available intermittent speeds. The rear window wiper motor has a safety override which stops the rear wiper motor if it is operating when the liftgate is opened. The rear wiper motor monitors the position of the liftgate through circuit 700 (WH/PK), which is normally connected to ground through the liftgate ajar switch when the liftgate is closed. When the liftgate is opened, ground is disconnected from circuit 700 (WH/PK) by the liftgate ajar switch, and the rear window wiper motor stops until the liftgate is closed.

Under normal operation, the wiper switch receives ground through circuit 1205 (BK). The windshield wiper motor receives input from the wiper switch through circuits 28 (BK/PK) and 61 (YE/RD) to operate the MIST wiper function.

The wiper switch receives ground through 1205 (BK). The rear wiper motor receives ground from the wiper switch through circuit 485 (PK/BK) to operate the rear wiper wash and wipe function. The rear window wiper motor has a safety override which stops the rear wiper motor if it is operating when the liftgate is opened. The rear wiper motor monitors the position of the liftgate through circuit 700 (WH/PK), which is normally connected to ground through the liftgate ajar switch when the liftgate is closed. When the liftgate is opened, ground is disconnected from circuit 700 (WH/PK) by the liftgate ajar switch, and the rear window wiper motor stops until the liftgate is closed.

On Freestyle vehicles, the washer pump motor is grounded to the chassis by internal relays in the windshield and rear window wiper motors through circuit 946 (VT/LG) when the windshield washer is activated, or through circuit 941 (BK/WH) when the rear window washer is activated. On Five Hundred and Montego vehicles, the washer pump motor is grounded to the chassis through circuit 1205 (BK). When the wiper switch is pressed to the windshield wash position, a ground signal is provided to the windshield wiper motor and module assembly on circuit 28 (BK/PK) and the internal module activates the internal washer relay, which provides power to the washer pump motor through circuit 941 (BK/WH). On Freestyle vehicles, when the rear washer is activated, the internal relay in the rear wiper motor provides power to the washer pump through circuit 946 (VT/LG).
