GENERAL INFORMATION
Following are general descriptions of the major WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
components in the Grand Cherokee wiper and
washer systems. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Dia-
grams for complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM
An intermittent wiper system is standard equip-
ment on all Grand Cherokee models. The intermit-
tent wipe system allows the driver to select from two
wiper speeds or an intermittent wipe feature that al-
lows a delay between wipes of 2 to 15 seconds. Refer
to the owner’s manual for more information on wiper
system controls and operation.
The wipers will operate only when the ignition
switch is in the ACCESSORY or ON position. A cir-
cuit breaker in the fuseblock module protects the cir-
cuitry of the wiper system.
CAUTION: The wiper arms and blades must never
be moved manually from side to side or damage
may result.

The intermittent wipe module is attached to the
left cowl side panel beneath the instrument panel
and behind the cowl side trim panel with a hook and
loop fastener patch.
The following tests are to be performed if a prob-
lem with wiper system is only evident in the DELAY
mode. These tests involve disconnecting the intermit-
tent wipe module.
CONDITION
Excessive delay (more than 30 seconds) or in-
adequate variation in delay.
PROCEDURE
Variations in delay should be as follows:
(1) Minimum delay (delay control to extreme coun-
terclockwise position before first detent) 1/2 to 2 sec-
onds.
(2) Maximum delay (delay control to extreme clock-
wise position before off detent) 10 to 30 seconds.
(3) If there is excessive delay or no variations in
delay, see Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch diagno-
