Speed Dependent Windshield Wipers

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The windshield wiper motor module responds to the windshield wiper control commands by interpreting inputs from the powertrain control module (PCM) system. The speed dependent wipers will compensate for the extra moisture that accumulates on the windshield at higher speeds, except when the steering column multifunction switch is in the INT 1 position. At higher speeds, the speed dependent feature shortens the delay between wipes when using the variable interval wipers. Delays will automatically adjust at speeds between 16 and 105 km/h (10 and 65 mph).
