Normal Operation
During normal operation, the windshield wiper motor receives voltage at all times through central junction box (CJB) fuse 44 (20A), circuit 950 (WH/BK). The windshield wiper motor also receives power with the ignition switch in RUN or ACC positions through CJB fuse 9 (5A), circuit 65 (DG). Ground is provided to the windshield wiper motor through circuit 938 (BK/LG). The run/park relay and high/low relay are contained in the wiper motor electronics. Mode of operation is dependant on the signal(s) received from the multifunction switch.
