the plunger reaches the end of its travel. A ratchet-
ing sound will be heard during this procedure.
Connect the wiring harness to the switch. Mount
the switch into the bracket by holding the switch
with the plunger facing forward in car. There is an
index key on the switch that mates with the bracket
slot at the top of the square hole. Align key and push
switch into square hole in bracket while depressing
the brake pedal. Once the switch is seated in the
hole, rotate clockwise approximately 30 degrees to
lock into place. The switch will automatically adjust
when the pedal is released. Pull back on the pedal to
assure correct adjustment.

The turn signals are part of the multi-function
switch. Which contains:
²Electrical circuitry for turn signals
²Hazard warning switch
²Headlamp beam select switch
²Headlamp optical horn
The integrated switch assembly is mounted to the
left hand side of the steering column. When the
driver wishes to signal his intentions to change direc-
tion of travel, he moves the lever upward to cause
the right signals to flash and downward to cause the
left signals to flash. After completion of a turn the
system is deactivated automatically. As the steering
wheel returns to the straight ahead position, a can-
celing cam molded to the clockspring mechanism
comes in contact with the cancel actuator on the turn
signal multi-function switch assembly. The cam lobe,
pushing on the cancel actuator, returns the switch to
the off position.
If only momentary signaling such as indication of a
lane change is desired, the switch is actuated to a
left or right intermediate detent position. In this
position the signal lamps flash as described above,
but the switch returns to the OFF position as soon as
the lever is released.
When the system is activated, one of two indicator
lamps mounted in the instrument cluster flashes in
unison with the turn signal lamps, indicating to the
driver that the system is operating.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM
The hazard warning system is actuated by a slide
button located on the top of the steering column
between the steering wheel and the instrument
panel. The hazard switch is identified with a double
triangle on front of the button.
COMBINATION FLASHER
The turn signal flasher and the hazard warning
flasher are combined into one unit called a combina-
tion flasher (combo-flasher). The combo- flasher con-
trols the flashing of the hazard warning system and
the turn signal system. An inoperative bulb or incom-
plete turn signal circuit will cause the flasher rate to
double.
The combo-flasher is located on the fuse block. The
combo-flasher is black in color for ease of identifica-
tion (Fig. 1).

WARNING: VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH AN
AIRBAG, REFER TO GROUP 8M, RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS FOR STEERING WHEEL OR COLUMN SER-
VICE PROCEDURES.
The windshield wipers will only operate with the
ignition switch in the ACCESSORY or IGNITION
RUN position. The wiper circuit is protect against
over loads by a fuse in the fuse block and a circuit
breaker within the wiper motor. This protects the cir-
cuitry of the wiper system and the vehicle.
The wiper motor has permanent magnet fields.
The intermittent wiper system, in addition to low
and high speed, has a delay mode and a pulse wipe
mode. The delay mode has a range of 1 to 15 seconds.
Pulse wipe is accomplished by momentarily moving
the stalk lever into the WASH position while the
wiper switch is in either OFF or DELAY position.
The wiper blades then sweep once or twice and
return to the previous wiper switch mode, OFF or
DELAY.The intermittent wiper function is integral to the
wiper switch. All electronics and relay are inside the
switch assembly.
The wiper system completes the wipe cycle when
the switch is turned OFF. The blades park in the
lowest portion of the wipe pattern.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
WIPER BLADES
Wiper blades, exposed to the weather for a long
period of time, tend to lose their wiping effectiveness.
Periodic cleaning of the wiper blade is suggested to
remove the accumulation of salt and road film. The
wiper blades, arms, and windshield should be
cleaned with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent
or nonabrasive cleaner. If the blades continue to
streak or smear, they should be replaced. The right
and left wipers are different blade lengths. The
driver side length is 525 mm and the passenger side
length is 450 mm. The blades should not be inter-
changed.

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, SEE GROUP 8M, RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FOR
STEERING WHEEL OR COLUMN REMOVAL PROCE-
DURES.
The following is a list of general wiper motor sys-
tem problems, the tests that are to be performed to
locate the faulty part, and the corrective action to be
taken.
Whatever the problem, disconnect motor wire har-
ness and clean the terminals, then connect motor
wire harness and test.
MOTOR WILL NOT OPERATE IN SOME OR ALL
SWITCH POSITIONS
(1) Check fuse 15, in the fuse block (Fig. 1).
(a) If fuse is OK, go to Step 2.
(b) If fuse is defective, replace and check motor
operation in all switch positions.
(c) If motor is still inoperative and the fuse does
not blow, go to Step 2.
(d) If replacement fuse blows, go to Step 6.
(2) Disconnect motor wire connector.
(3) Check motor low speed. Using two jumper
wires, connect one jumper wire between the battery
positive terminal and terminal 2 of the motor connec-
tor. Connect the other jumper wire to the battery
negative terminal and the motor ground strap. Refer
to Wiper Motor Connector Pinout table and (Fig. 2).
Check motor high speed, connect the positive jumper
wire to terminal 1 of the motor connector. Connect
the negative jumper wire to the motor ground strap.
(a) If motor does not run, high or low speed go to
Step 4.
(b) If motor runs, go to Step 5.(4) Using an ohmmeter, check for good ground at
the motor ground strap. If OK, replace motor. If not
repair the ground circuit as necessary.
(5) Check terminal E of wiper switch connector for
continuity to ground. If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK,
repair the ground circuit as necessary.
(6) Using a voltmeter, with wiper switch con-
nected, connect negative lead to motor ground strap.
Connect the positive lead to terminal P1 of the wiper
switch connector (Fig. 3) and (Fig. 5).
(a) If no voltage, repair wiring as necessary. If
OK, go to Step 2.
(b) Check wiper switch low speed, connect volt-
meter positive lead to terminal L of the wiper
switch connector. Move wiper stalk to LOW posi-
tion. If no voltage, replace switch.
(c) Check wiper switch high speed, connect volt-
meter positive lead to terminal H of the wiper
switch connector. Move wiper stalk to HIGH posi-
tion. If no voltage, replace switch.
(7) Disconnect motor connector and replace fuse 15
in fuse block.
(a) If fuse does not blow, replace motor.
