Interval Wipers (If equipped)
[SC04240(ALL)08/91]
In addition to two speed wipers, your vehicle
may have wipers that you can set to operate at
varying intervals. For example, you can set the
interval so they wipe less often when it drizzles
and more often in heavier rain.

4. Replace the radiator breather cap and the
coolant system cap and tighten to the first
stop.
[SV22050(ALL)02/92]

upper hose is warm. The warm hose
indicates the thermostat is open and the
engine coolant is flowing through the entire
system.
[SV22060(ALL)02/92]
6. Shut the engine off and check the fluid level
in the radiator through the coolant system
cap opening. Add more fluid if necessary.
[SV22070(ALL)02/92]

level, replace the coolant system cap and
tighten both caps completely.

Washer Fluid
[SV22500(ALL)01/95]
Check the level of the windshield washer fluid
every time you stop for fuel. The reservoir for
the windshield washer fluid is located in the
engine compartment. Visual inspection can
determine if the washer fluid is adequate. Do
not operate the washer when the reservoir is
empty.

Wiper blade maintenance
*
[SV24100(ALL)03/95]
Check the windshield wiper blades at least twice
a year. Also check them whenever they seem
less effective than usual. Such substances as tree
sap and some hot wax treatments used by
commercial car washes reduce the effectiveness
of wiper blades.
*
[SV24200(ALL)03/95]
If the blades do not wipe properly, clean both
the windshield and the wiper blades. Use
undiluted windshield washer solution or a mild
detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Do
not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents to clean your wiper blades. These will
damage your blades.
*
[SV24300(ALL)02/95]
To make reaching the wiper blades easy, simply
turn the ignition switch to ACC and turn your
wipers on. Wait for them to reach a vertical
position and turn the ignition to OFF. Do not
move the wipers manually. Moving the wipers
manually may damage them.

[SV24400(ALL)03/01]
Wiper blade replacement
*
[SV24500(ALL)01/95]
If the wipers still do not work properly after
you clean them, you may need to replace the
wiper blade assembly. When replacing the wiper
blade assembly always use a Motorcraft part or
equivalent.
*
[SV24525(ALL)10/93]
To replace the wiper blades:
*
[SV24535(ALL)04/95]
1. Pull the wiper arm away from the
windshield and lock into the service position.
*
[SV24550(ALL)03/94]
2. Turn the blade at an angle from the wiper
arm. Push the lock pin with a screwdriver to
release the blade and pull the wiper blade
down toward the windshield to remove it
from the arm.
