Windshield wiper system

An intermittent windshield wiper system is standard equipment on this model. The intermittent wiper system lets the driver select from either of two wiper speeds, low or high, or the intermittent wipe delay mode. A knob on the end of the multi-function switch stalk is rotated to select the desired wiper speed, or the intermittent wipe delay mode and interval.

On models equipped with a base version of the Central Timer Module (CTM), the intermittent wipe mode delay times are driver adjustable from about one-half second to about eighteen seconds. On models equipped with a high-line version of the CTM, the intermittent wipe mode delay times are speed sensitive.

Above about sixteen kilometers-per-hour (ten miles-per-hour) the delay is driver adjustable from about one-half second to about eighteen seconds.

Below about sixteen kilometers-per-hour (ten milesper- hour) the high-line CTM doubles the delay time, or provides delays of about one second to about thirty- six seconds. The intermittent wipe mode is provided by delay logic and relay control circuitry contained within the CTM, and an intermittent wipe relay.

The windshield wipers will operate only when the ignition switch is in the Accessory or On positions. A fuse located in the junction block protects the circuitry of the windshield wiper system.

Following are general descriptions of the major components in the windshield wiper system. Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of the windshield wiper system.
