Default Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The windshield wiper motor defaults to this mode when the RUN/PARK sense does not sense the hall effect magnet inside the wiper motor, this can be caused by obstruction of windshield wipers or binding linkage. The windshield wiper motor will continue to operate in a HI/LO speed condition for a period of 60 seconds.
