Windshield Wiper Motor
The windshield wiper motor contains a logic module, internal sensors to monitor the wiper arm position, and a multi-speed motor. The logic module from the windshield wiper motor continuously monitors the wiper/washer switch inputs from the SCCM and the rain sensor when the ignition is on. Depending on the input, the wiper motor activates to achieve the desired request.
The windshield wiper motor is mounted to the wiper and linkage assembly.
