Washer System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The windshield washer is activated by the internal windshield wiper motor module when it receives a ground from the multifunction switch from the washer input. Dependent on the correct ground, the internal windshield wiper motor module activates the windshield washer relay (internal) by grounding the respective relay coil. When the relay is activated, it connects voltage to the washer pump while the washer level switch provides ground to the washer pump.
