Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Intermittent Wiper Delay
The intermittent wiper delay switch is a voltage divider connected across BCM inputs circuit 113 and circuit 96. The wiper relay is energized by the BCM switching circuit 1445 to ground depending on delay switch position.
The intermittent wiper delay switch has three switch positions:
- Delay 3 - 2000 ohms resistance
- Delay 2 - 1000 ohms resistance
- Delay 1- 500 ohms resistance
Refer to Wiper/Washer System Description and Operation in Wiper/Washer Systems for the timing of each delay position.
