Low-Speed Windshield Wipers

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Low speed is activated when the windshield wiper/washer switch supplies specific ground inputs to the windshield wiper motor module. The windshield wiper motor module then supplies ground for the run/park relay, activating the low-speed mode, sending voltage to the low-speed side of the motor, activating the low-speed mode. Low-speed mode is exited by selecting a different state on the switch. When the switch is placed in the OFF position, the motor continues to operate until the motor returns to the park position and the Hall-effect sensor senses the motor magnet. The output to the run/park relay deactivates the relay and disconnects the voltage to the motor.
