Windshield Wiper/Washer Systems
• Permanent magnet wiper circuits
– Are the most common design
– Speed is controlled by the placement of the
brushes on the commutator
– Three brushes are used
– Park switch supplies voltage to motor after the
wiper switch is turned off

Windshield Wiper Systems (Cont.)
• Electromagnetic field wiper circuits
– Use two fields that are wired in opposite
directions - the shunt field and the series field
– A ground side switch determines the path of
current flow and motor speed
– The shunt field reduces motor speed
– In high speed the shunt field ground has
resistance, reducing current flow

Three-Speed Motors
• The control switch and resistors determine
motor speed
• For low speed both coils have equal current
flow
• Medium speed sends current flow through
a resistor before the shunt coil
• High speed places a higher resistance in the
shunt field circuit

Wiper Linkage and Blades
• Several arms and pivots
comprise wiper linkage
• The motor spins and
rotates linkage
• A few systems use two
motors instead of
linkage

Intermittent Wiper Designs
• Most are controlled by an electronic module
– The module may be mounted on the steering
column or on the wiper motor
• Some vehicles incorporate this function in
the body control module
• A variable resistor is commonly used as an
input

onto windshield surface

sensor
• Water on the windshield reduces the
reflected light

headlights
