Wiper Motor

The motor assembly comprises a DC (direct current) motor, which drives a gear wheel via a worm drive attached to the motor spindle. The gear wheel has a central spigot, which provides the attachment point for the motor crank.

The motor is connected electrically by a five-pin connector. The connector supplies 2 battery voltage feeds to the motor. The motor has 3 sets of brushes with 1 brush connected to ground. One feed is direct to the motor brush opposite the ground brush and operates the motor at normal (slow) speed. The second feed is connected to a motor brush, which is offset from the ground brush and operates the motor at fast speed. With the power supplied through this brush, the current flows through fewer coil windings. This results in a lower resistance to the current flow to the ground brush and gives a higher motor rotational speed.

Output control of the wiper motor is through a double contact relay. The relay is located in the EJB (engine junction box). The relay is a tan color for identification.

The motor has an internal track, which signals the CJB when the wipers have reached the park position. The park signal is an open circuit when the wipers are in the park position. When the wipers are switched off and the CJB receives the park position signal from the motor, the CJB shorts the motor via a relay bridge circuit. This short circuit has the effect of applying a brake to the motor, giving precise positioning of the wiper blades in the park position.

The wiper arms are positively located on tapered splines on the wiper linkage spindles.

The wipers require no adjustment other than screen positioning.
