High Speed Windshield Wipers

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.

High speed is activated when the multifunction switch supplies ground to the windshield wiper motor module inputs. The windshield wiper motor module then supplies ground to the run/park sense and high/low relay coil, activating the relay with voltage supplied from the battery through the central junction box (CJB). When the windshield wiper motor module receives voltage from the run/park sense, it removes ground from the run/park sense, deactivating it. The windshield wiper motor continues to operate from voltage connected through the run/park sense until the Hall effect senses magnet in the motor. When the Hall effect senses magnet in the motor the windshield wiper motor returns to the park position, the internal run/park sense grounds the windshield wiper motor module input and the windshield wiper motor module removes ground from the windshield wiper high/low relay coil, deactivating the high/low relay and windshield wiper motor. The windshield wiper motor module continues to cycle the windshield wipers until the inputs from the multifunction switch are changed from the high speed position.
