Windshield Low-speed (and High-speed) Wiper Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If the wiper switch is turned to the "LO" position with the ignition switch at the "ACC" or "ON" position, the column switch sends a low-speed wiper ON and high-speed wiper OFF signals to the front-ECU. This turns the wiper signal on and the wiper speed switching relay off (low-speed), causing the wipers to operate at low-speed.
- If the wiper switch is turned to the "HI" position, the column switch sends a low-speed wiper OFF and high-speed wiper ON signals to the front-ECU. This turns both the wiper signal and the wiper speed switching relay on (high-speed), causing the wipers to operate at high-speed.
NOTE:
The windshield wiper speed is controlled by the wiper speed control relay, which is incorporated in the front-ECU. The wipers operate at high speed when the wiper speed control relay is on, and at low speed when it is off.
