Wipers and Washers

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The wiper and washer system consists of the following components:

Windshield wiper blades
Windshield wiper pivot arms
Windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft
Windshield wiper motor
Windshield washer fluid reservoir
Windshield washer fluid pump
Windshield wiper/washer switch (part of multi-function switch)

The windshield wiper/washer switch is an integral component of the steering column multi-function switch. The multi-function switch provides input to the wiper motor module to activate wash, low, high and intermittent modes. The relays are all integral to the wiper motor module assembly and are not serviceable separately.

The washer system consists of the washer reservoir and washer pump. When the multi-function switch is placed into the wash mode, the windshield wiper motor integral electronics activate the washer pump to direct washer fluid to the windshield.

When the wiper control is set on any intermittent setting except INT 1, the speed dependent wipers will automatically adjust with the vehicle speed. This feature decreases the time between wipes when the vehicle speed increases.
