allowing the wiper blades to cycle before they
reach to the stop positions.

Intermittent wiper operation

• When the rear wiper switch is placed in the

"INTERMITTENT" position with the ignition
switch in the "ACC" or "ON" position, the rear
intermittent wiper relay contacts to close and
open repeatedly.

intermittent wiper relay contacts open; however,
the cam contacts keep the rear wiper motor ener-
gized until the wiper blades return to their stop
position.

Washer-wiper operation

• When the rear washer switch is turned "ACC" or
