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.
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) monitors the windshield wiper switch low signal circuit. When the wiper switch is place in the low position, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts, a series of resistors, and the wiper switch low signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies battery voltage through the wiper relay control circuit to energize the WPR Relay. When energized, battery voltage from the WPR Fuse is applied through the switch side of the WPR relay then through the switch side of the WPR HI relay to the windshield wiper motor.
