Windshield Washer

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the wiper/washer switch is activated, the SCCM sends the washer request to the driver side windshield wiper motor assembly over the LIN. The windshield wash relay is internal to the driver side windshield wiper motor assembly. When the driver side windshield wiper motor assembly activates the internal windshield wash relay, voltage is provided to the washer pump, directing washer fluid to the windshield. If equipped with a front camera, washer solvent is also directed to the front camera lens when the washer pump is active. When the switch is released, the windshield wiper motors will continue to activate for 3 additional wipes and then turn off.

Ground for the washer pump is provided through the rear window washer relay located within the BJB.
