All rear wiper and washer system functions are initiated with the rear wiper and washer switch in the instrument panel switch pod located on the instrument panel center bezel, just above the radio and below the a/c outlets (Refer to ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/INSTRUMENT PANEL SWITCH POD - REMOVAL) . Pushing the left side of the wiper/washer switch selects the rear wiper system operating mode (intermittent). it has fixed 10 seconds delay between wipe (not adjustable). indicator at bottom of the WIPE graphic will light up when the wipe switch is ON and goes away when the wipe is OFF. Depressing the momentary contact switch activates the rear washer system. When a rear wiper or washer mode is selected, the circuitry within the instrument panel switch pod sends an electronic rear wiper/washer switch status message over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) also referred to as the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). The CCN then sends electronic messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the CAN data bus requesting the appropriate rear wiper and washer system operating modes.
