Wipe-After-Wash Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Jeep Wrangler. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the washer switch is closed with the front wiper system turned Off, the intermittent wipe logic circuit operates the front wiper motor through the wiper motor relay in the same manner as it does to provide the Delay mode operation, but uses the Off mode circuitry of the wiper switch to feed battery current to the low speed brush of the front wiper motor. When the Wash mode circuitry state changes to open, the intermittent wipe logic circuit de-energizes the front washer pump/motor unit, but allows the wiper motor to operate for several additional wipe cycles before it de-energizes the wiper motor and parks the wiper blades near the base of the windshield. The intermittent wipe logic circuit monitors the front wiper motor through the wiper park switch sense circuit, which allows the logic circuit to count the number of wiper blade sweeps.
