Windshield Wiper Switch Assembly 

 
The windshield wiper switch assembly is located on the right hand side of the case and is retained in the case with two

following functions: 
 

Windshield wiper intermittent, slow and fast speed  
Windshield wiper flick wipe  
Windshield wash/wipe

Windshield Wiper Switch Operation  
 
The windshield wiper functions are operated by moving the switch up or down. Flick wipe is selected by pushing the 
switch down. The switch is non-latching in this position and wiper operation is stopped when the switch is released and it 
returns to the off position. The flick wipe switch contact is connected on a single wire to the CJB and ground. This is the 
same connection to the CJB as the fast speed wipe. When the switch is operated the circuit is completed between the 
CJB and ground. The CJB detects the completed circuit and operates the wipers for as long as the switch contact is 
made. 
 
Intermittent is selected by pushing the wiper switch up, to the detent position, the wipers operate at the delay period 
selected on the rotary switch on the wiper stalk. The wipers remain in the intermittent mode until the wiper switch is 
moved to the off or slow/fast speed positions. The intermittent switch contact is connected between the CJB and ground. 
When the switch is moved to the intermittent position the circuit is completed. The CJB detects the completed circuit and 
operates the wipers in the intermittent delay selected for as long as the switch contact is made. 
 
The intermittent delay period is selected using a rotary control on the wiper switch stalk. The rotary control allows the
