Right Control Stalk
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Continuous Front Wipe Modes - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch right (wiper) control stalk is rotated to an intermediate detent that is one detent rearward from the full forward detent to select the low speed continuous front wiper mode, or to its full forward detent to select the high speed continuous front wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a front wiper switch circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing the wiper on/off relay in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for the front low speed continuous wipe mode, or the wiper on/off relay and the wiper high/low relay in the PDC for the front high speed continuous wipe mode as required.
- Continuous Rear Wipe Mode - The control ring on the multi-function switch right (wiper) control stalk is rotated to the most forward detent to select the continuous rear wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides a battery voltage output to the rear wiper motor on a rear wiper on driver circuit to signal the rear wiper motor to operate in the continuous wipe mode.
- Front Washer Mode - The right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the steering wheel to momentarily activate the washer pump in the front washer mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the front washer mode until the control stalk is released. The multi-function switch provides a ground output on a washer pump sense circuit, and battery voltage on a washer pump driver circuit to energize the washer pump in the front washer mode.
- Front Wiper Mist Mode - The right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function switch is pushed towards the floor to momentarily activate the front wiper motor in the mist mode. The front wiper motor will continue to operate in the mist mode until the control stalk is released. The multi-function switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a front wiper switch circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing the wiper on/off relay in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front wiper motor momentarily at low speed to provide the front wiper mist mode.
- Intermittent Front Wipe Mode - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch right (wiper) control stalk is rotated to one of five minor intermediate detents to select the desired intermittent front wipe delay interval. The control knob is rotated rearward to increase the delay, or forward to decrease the delay. The multi-function switch provides a resistor multiplexed output to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a front wiper switch circuit, and the BCM responds by energizing the wiper on/off relay in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) to operate the front wiper motor at the selected delay intervals.
- Intermittent Rear Wipe Mode - The control ring on the multi-function switch right (wiper) control stalk is rotated to the center detent to select the intermittent rear wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides a battery voltage output to the rear wiper motor on a rear wiper intermittent driver circuit to signal the rear wiper motor to operate in the intermittent wipe mode.
- Rear Washer Mode - The control ring on the multi-function switch right (wiper) control stalk is rotated to either the full forward or full rearward momentary positions to activate the washer pump in the rear washer mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the rear washer mode until the control ring is released. The multi-function switch provides a ground output on a washer pump driver circuit, and battery voltage on a washer pump sense circuit to energize the washer pump in the rear washer mode.
