Wiper/Washer System Circuit Description P42

Voltage is supplied from the WIPER fuse to connector C 207, cavity D, and the wiper/washer switch through CKT 143 (YEL) when the ignition switch is in the ACC or RUN positions. Ground is supplied through the wiper/washer motor and is installed by the body builder.

Low Speed

Moving the wiper/washer switch to the LOW position applies voltage through CKT 91 (GRY) to C 207, cavity E, and CKT 98 (ORN) to C 207, cavity F.

High Speed

Moving the wiper/washer switch to the HIGH position applies voltage through CKT 92 (PPL) to C 207, cavity C.

Mist

Moving the wiper/washer switch to the MIST position applies voltage through CKT 91 (GRY) to C 207, cavity E, and CKT 98 (ORN) to C 207, cavity F.

Wash

Depressing the WASH switch closes the contacts and applies voltage through CKT 94 (PNK) to C 207, cavity B.

Wiper/Washer System Circuit Description P32

Voltage is supplied to the wiper motor by the WIPER fuse through CKT 143 (YEL) to connector C 207, cavity E when the ignition switch is in the ACC or RUN position. Different speeds and functions of the wiper motor are achieved by completing different ground paths through the windshield wiper pulse control module. CKT 91 (GRY) (windshield wiper relay feed coil) is used to keep the wiper motor running. When this circuit is not grounded the motor will not turn. Closing the various contacts in the wiper/washer switch will provide ground for this circuit and allow the motor to turn.

LOW or MIST Position

With the wiper/washer switch in the LOW or MIST position, ground is provided to the wiper motor through the following path:

    • CKT 97 (GRY) from the wiper washer motor (C 207) to the windshield wiper pulse control module.
    • CKT 150 (BLK) from the windshield wiper pulse control module to the wiper/washer switch.
    • CKT 91 (GRY) or CKT 97 (LT BLU/BLK) from the wiper/washer switch to the windshield wiper pulse control module.
    • CKT 250 (BLK) from the windshield wiper pulse control module to ground G 200.

HIGH Position

With the wiper/washer switch in the HIGH position, ground is provided to the wiper motor through the following path:

    • CKT 92 (PPL) from the wiper washer motor (C 207) to the windshield wiper pulse control module.
    • CKT 150 (BLK) from the windshield wiper pulse control module to the wiper/washer switch.
    • CKT 92 (PPL) from the wiper/washer switch to the windshield wiper pulse control module.
    • CKT 250 (BLK) from the windshield wiper pulse control module to ground G 200.

DELAY Operation

The voltage and the ground operation to the wiper motor is the same as the LOW or MIST operation. The delay rheostat in the wiper/washer switch controls the delay. Turning the rheostat will change the amount of resistance as well as the timing of the delay. When the wiper/washer switch is in the DELAY position ground is provided through the following path:

    • CKT 97 (GRY) from the wiper washer motor (C 207) to the windshield wiper pulse control module.
    • CKT 96 (BLK/WHT) from the windshield wiper pulse control module to the wiper/washer switch.
    • CKT 96 (BRN) from the wiper/washer switch to the windshield wiper pulse control module.
    • CKT 250 (BLK) from the windshield wiper pulse control module to ground G 200.

Washer Pump

When the contacts of the wash switch in the wiper washer switch close, the ground is provided through the following path:

    • CKT 92 (PNK) from the wiper washer motor (C 207) to the windshield wiper pulse control module.
    • CKT 150 (BLK) from the windshield wiper pulse control module to the wiper/washer switch.
    • CKT 94 (PNK) from the wiper/washer switch to the windshield wiper pulse control module.
    • CKT 250 (BLK) from the windshield wiper pulse control module to ground G 200.
