factory. The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM)
can be programmed to recognize up to a total of eight
Sentry Keys. When programming a blank Sentry Key
transponder, the key must first be cut to match the
ignition switch lock cylinde for which it will be used.
Once the additional key has been cut, the SKIM
must be programmed to recognize it as a valid key.
There are two possible methods to program the
SKIM to recognize a new or additional valid key, the
Secured Access Method and the Customer Learn
Method. Following are the details of these two pro-
gramming methods.
SECURED ACCESS METHOD
The Secured Access method applies to all vehicles.
This method requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool.
This method will also require that you have access to
the unique four-digit PIN code that was assigned to
the original SKIM. The PIN codemustbe used to
enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. This
PIN number may be obtained from the vehicle owner,
from the original vehicle invoice, or from the
DaimlerChrysler Customer Center. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information for the proper
Secured Access method programming procedures.
CUSTOMER LEARN METHOD
The Customer Learn feature is only available on
domestic vehicles, or those vehicles which have a
U.S. country code designator. This programming
method also requires access to at least two valid Sen-
try Keys. If two valid Sentry Keys are not available,
or if the vehicle does not have a U.S. country code
designator, the Secured Access Methodmustbe used
to program new or additional valid keys to the SKIM.
The Customer Learn programming method proce-
dures are as follows:
(1) Obtain the blank Sentry Key(s) that are to be
programmed as valid keys for the vehicle. Cut the
blank key(s) to match the ignition switch lock cylin-
der mechanical key codes.
(2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Keys into the
ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the
On position.
(3) After the ignition switch has been in the On
position for longer than three seconds, but no more
than fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to
the Off position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key in
the ignition switch lock cylinder with the second
valid Sentry Key and turn the ignition switch back to
the On position. The second valid Sentry Key must
be inserted in the lock cylinder within fifteen seconds
of removing the first valid key.
(4) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
3, the SKIS indicator in the instrument cluster will
start to flash and a single audible chime tone willsound to indicate that the system has entered the
Customer Learn programming mode.
(5) Within sixty seconds of entering the Customer
Learn programming mode, turn the ignition switch to
the Off position, replace the valid Sentry Key with a
blank Sentry Key transponder, and turn the ignition
switch back to the On position.
(6) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
5, a single audible chime tone will sound and the
SKIS indicator will stop flashing, stay on solid for
three seconds, then turn off to indicate that the
blank Sentry Key has been successfully programmed.
The SKIS will immediately exit the Customer Learn
programming mode and the vehicle may now be
started using the newly programmed valid Sentry
Key.
Each of these steps must be repeated and com-
pleted in their entirety for each additional Sentry
Key that is to be programmed. If the above steps are
not completed in the given sequence, or within the
allotted time, the SKIS will exit the Customer Learn
programming mode and the programming will be
unsuccessful. The SKIS will also automatically exit
the Customer Learn programming mode if it sees a
non-blank Sentry Key transponder when it should
see a blank, if it has already programmed eight (8)
valid Sentry Keys, or if the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position for more than about fifty seconds.
NOTE: If an attempt is made to start the vehicle
while in the Customer Learn mode (SKIS indicator
flashing), the SKIS will respond as though the vehi-
cle were being started with an invalid key. In other
words, the engine will stall after about two seconds
of operation. No faults will be set.
NOTE: Once a Sentry Key has been programmed as
a valid key to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed
as a valid key for use on any other vehicle.
DOOR CYLINDER LOCK
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles manufactured for North American mar-
kets that are equipped with the optional Vehicle
Theft Security System (VTSS) have a door cylinder
lock switch secured to the back of the key lock cylin-
der inside the drivers front door (Fig. 1). The door
cylinder lock switch is a resistor multiplexed momen-
tary switch that is hard wired in series between the
door lock switch ground and right or left cylinder
lock switch mux circuits of the Drivers Door Module
(DDM) through the front door wire harness. The door
WJVEHICLE THEFT SECURITY 8Q - 7
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)

cylinder lock switches are driven by the key lock cyl-
inders and contain two internal resistors. One resis-
tor value is used for the Lock position, and one for
the Unlock position.
The door cylinder lock switches cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The door cylinder lock switches are actuated by the
key lock cylinder when the key is inserted in the lock
cylinder and turned to the lock or unlock positions.
The door cylinder lock switch close a circuit between
the door lock switch ground circuit and the left or
right cylinder lock switch mux circuits through one of
two internal resistors for the Driver Door Module
(DDM) when either front door key lock cylinder is in
the Lock, or Unlock positions. The DDM reads the
switch status through an internal pull-up, then uses
this information as an input for the Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS) operation.
The door cylinder lock switches and circuits can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOOR CYLINDER
LOCK SWITCH
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.(1) Disconnect the door cylinder lock switch pigtail
wire connector from the door wire harness connector.
(2) Using a ohmmeter, check the switch resistance
checks between the two terminals in the door cylin-
der lock switch pigtail wire connector. Actuate the
switch by rotating the key in the door lock cylinder
to test for the proper resistance values in each of the
two switch positions, as shown in the Door Cylinder

HOOD AJAR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a self-adjusting, normally
closed, single pole, double throw momentary switch
that is used only on vehicles built for sale in certain
international markets where it is required equipment
(Fig. 3). The mounting bracket is fastened to the left
inner fender. A molded plastic striker with three inte-
gral retainers is secured to the underside of the hood
panel inner reinforcement to actuate the switch
plunger as the hood panel is closed.The switchreceives a path to ground through the left inner
fender shield in the engine compartment.
The hood ajar switch adjusts itself as the striker
pushes the switch body down through the switch
when the hood panel is closed after the initial instal-
lation. This self-adjustment feature is only functional
the first time the hood is closed following installa-
tion. If the switch requires adjustment following the
initial installation, the switch must be replaced.
OPERATION
The normally closed hood ajar switch is normally
held open when the hood panel is closed and latched.
When the hood is opened, the switch plunger extends
from the switch body and the switch contacts are
closed. The hood ajar switch is connected in series
between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input
of the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM uses
an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of
the hood ajar switch contacts. The hood ajar switch
can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools
and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HOOD AJAR
SWITCH
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
hood ajar switch. If the problem being diagnosed is
related to hood ajar switch accuracy, be certain to
confirm that the problem is not an improperly
adjusted hood ajar switch. If no hood ajar switch
adjustment problem is found, the following procedure
will help to locate a short or open in the hood ajar
switch circuit. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation.

at the base of the windshield.
²Front Washer Nozzle- Two fluidic front
washer nozzles are secured with integral snap fea-
tures to dedicated openings in the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel located near the base of the windshield.
²Front Washer Plumbing- The plumbing for
the front washer system consists of rubber hoses and
molded plastic fittings. The plumbing is routed along
the left side of the engine compartment from the
washer reservoir, and through the dash panel into
the cowl plenum to the front washer nozzle fittings
beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel.
²Front Washer Pump/Motor- The front washer

²Front Wiper Arm- The two front wiper arms
are secured with nuts to the threaded studs on the
ends of the two wiper pivot shafts, which extend
through the cowl plenum cover/grille panel located
near the base of the windshield.
²Front Wiper Blade- The two front wiper
blades are secured to the two front wiper arms with
an integral latch, and are parked on the glass near
the bottom of the windshield when the front wiper
system is not in operation.
²Front Wiper Module- The front wiper pivot
shafts are the only visible components of the front
wiper module. The remainder of the module is con-
cealed within the cowl plenum beneath the cowl ple-
num cover/grille panel. The front wiper module
includes the module bracket, four rubber-isolated
wiper module mounts, the front wiper motor, the
wiper motor crank arm, the two wiper drive links,
and the two front wiper pivots.
²Rain Sensor Module- Models equipped with
the optional automatic wiper feature have a Rain
Sensor Module (RSM) located behind a trim cover on
a bracket bonded to the inside surface of the wind-
shield glass, just above the inside rear view mirror
mounting button.
²Right Multi-Function Switch- The right
(wiper) multi-function switch is secured to the right
side of the multi-function switch mounting housing
near the top of the steering column, just below the

an International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relay located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
in the engine compartment near the battery.
Hard wired circuitry connects the front wiper and
washer system components to the electrical system of
the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to
several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout
the vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the front wiper and
washer system components through the use of a com-
bination of soldered splices, splice block connectors,
and many different types of wire harness terminal
connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, further details on wire harness routing
and retention, as well as pin-out and location views
for the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.
OPERATING MODES
The components of the front wiper and washer sys-
tem are designed to work in concert to provide the
following operating modes:
²Automatic Wiper- In models equipped with
the optional automatic wiper feature, the internal
circuitry of both the right (wiper) multi-function
switch, the rain sensor module, and the BCM work
in concert to provide an automatic wiper mode with
five sensitivity selections. The BCM tells the Rain
Sensor Module (RSM) when the automatic wiper
mode is selected and the manually selected sensitiv-
ity level, then the rain sensor module tells the BCM
each time enough water droplets have accumulated
within the wipe pattern on the windshield to require
front wiper operation. The BCM then automatically

FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS (Continued)

teen seconds. Below about sixteen kilometers-per-
hour (ten miles-per-hour) the delay times are
doubled, from about one second to about thirty-six
seconds.
AUTOMATIC WIPE MODE
On models equipped with the optional automatic
wiper system, when the control knob on the control
stalk of the right (wiper) multi-function switch is
moved to one of the five Auto sensitivity positions,
the BCM sends an electronic message to the Rain
Sensor Module (RSM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network indi-
cating the selected position. The RSM monitors an
area within the wipe pattern of the windshield glass
for the accumulation of moisture. Based upon inter-
nal programming and the selected sensitivity level,
when sufficient moisture has accumulated the RSM
sends the appropriate electronic wipe command mes-
sages to the BCM over the PCI data bus and the
BCM operates the front wiper system accordingly. As
the sensitivity level is set higher, the RSM is more
sensitive to moisture accumulation and will send
wipe commands more frequently. The BCM logic is
also programmed to provide an immediate wipe cycle
each time the control knob on the control stalk of the
right multi-function switch is moved from a non-au-
tomatic wipe position to one of the five Auto sensitiv-
ity positions, and another immediate wipe cycle each
time the control knob is moved from a lower Auto
sensitivity position to a higher Auto sensitivity posi-
tion.
MIST WIPE MODE
When the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch is moved to the momentary Mist
position, the BCM energizes the wiper on/off relay for
as long as the Mist switch is held closed, then de-en-
ergizes the relay when the state of the Mist switch
input changes to open. The BCM can operate the
front wiper motor in this mode for only one low speed
cycle at a time, or for an indefinite number of
sequential low speed cycles, depending upon how
long the Mist switch is held closed.
WASH MODE
When the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch is moved to the momentary front
Wash position while the control knob is in the Low or
High positions, the circuitry within the switch directs
battery current to the front washer pump/motor unit.
This will cause the front washer pump/motor unit to
be energized for as long as the front Wash switch is
held closed, and to de-energize when the front Wash
switch is released. When the control stalk of the
right (wiper) multi-function switch is moved to the
momentary front Wash position while the controlknob is in one of the Delay interval or Auto sensitiv-
ity positions, the front washer pump/motor operation
is the same. However, the BCM energizes the wiper
on/off relay to override the selected delay interval or
auto sensitivity level and operate the front wiper
motor in a continuous low speed mode for as long as
the front Wash switch is held closed, then de-ener-
gizes the relay and reverts to the selected delay mode
interval or auto sensitivity level several wipe cycles
after the front Wash switch is released. The BCM
detects the front Wash switch state through a hard
wired washer pump motor switch output circuit input
from the right multi-function switch.
WIPE-AFTER-WASH MODE
When the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch is moved to the momentary front
Wash position while the control knob is in the Off
position, the BCM detects that switch state through
a hard wired washer pump motor switch output cir-
cuit input from the right multi-function switch. The
BCM responds to this input by energizing the wiper
on/off relay for as long as the Wash switch is held
closed, then de-energizes the relay several wipe
cycles after the front Wash switch is released. The
BCM monitors the changing state of the wiper motor
park switch through a hard wired front wiper park
switch sense circuit input. This input allows the
BCM to count the number of wipe cycles that occur
after the front Wash switch state changes to open,
and to determine the proper interval at which to de-
energize the wiper on/off relay to complete the wipe-
after-wash mode cycle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FRONT WIPER &
WASHER SYSTEM
FRONT WIPER SYSTEM
If the front wiper motor operates, but the wipers
do not move on the windshield, replace the faulty
front wiper module. If the wipers operate, but chat-
ter, lift, or do not clear the glass, clean and inspect
the wiper system components as required. (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS -
INSPECTION) and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING). Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-
mation includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
front wiper and washer system may be diagnosed
and tested using conventional diagnostic tools and
procedures. However, conventional diagnostic meth-

ods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
Body Control Module (BCM), the Rain Sensor Mod-
ule (RSM), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or
the inputs to or outputs from these modules that con-
trol the various front wiper and washer system oper-
ating modes. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the BCM, the RSM, the
PCM or the BCM inputs and outputs related to the
various front wiper and washer system operating
modes requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

CLEANING - FRONT WIPER & WASHER
SYSTEM
WIPER SYSTEM
The squeegees of wiper blades exposed to the ele-
ments for a long time tend to lose their wiping effec-
tiveness. Periodic cleaning of the squeegees is
suggested to remove any deposits of salt or road film.
The wiper blades, arms, and windshield glass should
only be cleaned using a sponge or soft cloth and
windshield washer fluid, a mild detergent, or a non-
abrasive cleaner. If the wiper blades continue to
leave streaks, smears, hazing, or beading on the
glass after thorough cleaning of the squeegees and
the glass, the entire wiper blade assembly must be
replaced.
CAUTION: Protect the rubber squeegees of the
wiper blades from any petroleum-based cleaners,
solvents, or contaminants. These products can rap-
idly deteriorate the rubber squeegees.
WASHER SYSTEM
If the washer system is contaminated with foreign
material, drain the washer reservoir by removing the
front washer pump/motor from the reservoir. Clean
foreign material from the inside of the washer reser-
voir using clean washer fluid, a mild detergent, or a
non-abrasive cleaner. Flush foreign material from the
washer system plumbing by first disconnecting the
washer hoses from the washer nozzles, then running
the washer pump/motor to run clean washer fluid or
water through the system. Plugged or restricted
washer nozzles should be carefully back-flushed
using compressed air. If the washer nozzle obstruc-
tion cannot be cleared, replace the washer nozzle.
CAUTION: Never introduce petroleum-based clean-
ers, solvents, or contaminants into the washer sys-
tem. These products can rapidly deteriorate the
rubber seals and hoses of the washer system, as
well as the rubber squeegees of the wiper blades.
CAUTION: Never use compressed air to flush the
washer system plumbing. Compressed air pres-
sures are too great for the washer system plumbingcomponents and will result in further system dam-
age. Never use sharp instruments to clear a
plugged washer nozzle or damage to the nozzle ori-
fice and improper nozzle spray patterns will result.
INSPECTION - FRONT WIPER & WASHER
SYSTEM
WIPER SYSTEM
The front wiper blades and wiper arms should be
inspected periodically, not just when wiper perfor-
mance problems are experienced. This inspection
should include the following points:
(1) Inspect the wiper arms for any indications of
damage, or contamination. If the wiper arms are con-
taminated with any foreign material, clean them as
required. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/FRONT WIP-
ERS/WASHERS - CLEANING). If a wiper arm is
damaged or corrosion is evident, replace the wiper
arm with a new unit. Do not attempt to repair a
wiper arm that is damaged or corroded.
(2) Carefully lift the wiper blade off of the glass.
Note the action of the wiper arm hinge. The wiper
arm should pivot freely at the hinge, but with no lat-
eral looseness evident. If there is any binding evident
in the wiper arm hinge, or there is evident lateral
play in the wiper arm hinge, replace the wiper arm.
CAUTION: Do not allow the wiper arm to spring
back against the glass without the wiper blade in
place or the glass may be damaged.
(3) Once proper hinge action of the wiper arm is
confirmed, check the hinge for proper spring tension.
Remove the wiper blade from the wiper arm. Either
place a small postal scale between the blade end of
the wiper arm and the glass, or carefully lift the
blade end of the arm away from the glass using a
small fish scale. Compare the scale readings between
the right and left wiper arms. Replace a wiper arm if
it has comparatively lower spring tension, as evi-
denced by a lower scale reading.
(4) Inspect the wiper blades and squeegees for any
indications of damage, contamination, or rubber dete-
rioration (Fig. 2). If the wiper blades or squeegees
are contaminated with any foreign material, clean
them and the glass as required. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING).
After cleaning the wiper blade and the glass, if the
wiper blade still fails to clear the glass without
smearing, streaking, chattering, hazing, or beading,
replace the wiper blade. Also, if a wiper blade is
damaged or the squeegee rubber is damaged or dete-
riorated, replace the wiper blade with a new unit. Do
not attempt to repair a wiper blade that is damaged.
8R - 8 FRONT WIPERS/WASHERSWJ
FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS (Continued)

WASHER SYSTEM
The washer system components should be
inspected periodically, not just when washer perfor-
mance problems are experienced. This inspection
should include the following points:
(1) Check for ice or other foreign material in the
washer reservoir. If contaminated, clean and flush
the washer system. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING).
(2) Inspect the washer plumbing for pinched, leak-
ing, deteriorated, or incorrectly routed hoses and
damaged or disconnected hose fittings. Replace dam-
aged or deteriorated hoses and hose fittings. Leaking
washer hoses can sometimes be repaired by cutting
the hose at the leak and splicing it back together
using an in-line connector fitting. Similarly, sections
of deteriorated hose can be cut out and replaced by
splicing in new sections of hose using in-line connec-
tor fittings. Whenever routing a washer hose or a
wire harness containing a washer hose, it must be
routed away from hot, sharp, or moving parts. Also,
sharp bends that might pinch the washer hose must
be avoided.
FRONT CHECK VALVE
DESCRIPTION
A front washer system check valve is standard
equipment on this model. The front check valve is
integral to the front washer nozzle plumbing wye fit-
ting located in the cowl plenum beneath the cowl ple-
num cover/grille panel near the base of the
windshield. The check valve consists of a molded
plastic body with a round center section. Three
barbed hose nipples are formed in a wye configura-
tion on the outside circumference of the center sec-
tion of the valve body. Within the check valve body, a
small check valve operated by a small coiled spring
restricts flow through the unit until the valve is
unseated by a predetermined inlet fluid pressure.
The front check valve cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The front check valve provides more than one func-
tion in this application. It serves as a wye connector
fitting between the cowl grille panel and washer noz-
zle sections of the front washer supply hose. It also
prevents washer fluid from draining out of the front
washer supply hoses back to the washer reservoir.
This drain-back would result in a lengthy delay from
when the front washer switch is actuated until
washer fluid was dispensed through the front washer
nozzles, because the front washer pump would have
to refill the front washer plumbing from the reservoir
to the nozzles. Finally, the front check valve prevents
washer fluid from siphoning through the front
washer nozzles after the front washer system is
turned Off. When the front washer pump pressurizes
and pumps washer fluid from the reservoir through
the front washer plumbing, the fluid pressure over-
rides the spring pressure applied to the check valve
and unseats the valve, allowing washer fluid to flow
toward the front washer nozzles. When the front
washer pump stops operating, spring pressure seats
the check valve and fluid flow in either direction
within the front washer plumbing is prevented.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the wiper arms from the wiper pivots.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASH-
ERS/FRONT WIPER ARMS - REMOVAL).
(3) Open the hood and pull the hood to plenum
seal off of the forward flanges of the cowl grille cover
and the plenum panel.

Washer hose is available for service only as roll
stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded
plastic washer hose fittings cannot be repaired. If
these fittings are faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
Washer fluid in the washer reservoir is pressurized
and fed by the front washer pump/motor through the
front washer system plumbing and fittings to the two
front washer nozzles. Whenever routing the washer
hose or a wire harness containing a washer hose, it
must be routed away from hot, sharp, or moving
parts; and, sharp bends that might pinch the hose
must be avoided.
FRONT WASHER NOZZLE
DESCRIPTION
The two front washer nozzles have integral snap
features that secure them in dedicated holes in the
cowl plenum cover/grille panel located near the base
of the windshield. The domed upper surface of the
washer nozzle is visible on the top of the plenum cov-
er/grille panel, and the nozzle orifice is oriented
towards the windshield glass. The washer plumbing
fittings for the washer nozzles are concealed beneath
the cowl plenum cover/grille panel. These fluidic
washer nozzles are constructed of molded plastic. The
cowl plenum cover/grille panel must be removed from
the vehicle to access the nozzles for service. The
washer nozzles cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.
OPERATION
The two front washer nozzles are designed to dis-
pense washer fluid into the wiper pattern area on the
outside of the windshield glass. Pressurized washer
fluid is fed to each nozzle from the washer reservoir
by the front washer pump/motor through a single
hose, which is attached to a barbed nipple on each
front washer nozzle below the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel. The washer nozzles incorporate a fluidic
design, which causes the nozzle to emit the pressur-
ized washer fluid as an oscillating stream to more
effectively cover a larger area of the glass area to be
cleaned.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the wiper arms from the wiper pivots.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/FRONT WIPERS/WASH-
ERS/FRONT WIPER ARMS - REMOVAL).

FRONT WIPER ARM
DESCRIPTION
The front wiper arms are the rigid members
located between the wiper pivots that protrude from
the cowl plenum cover/grille panel near the base of
the windshield and the wiper blades on the wind-
shield glass. These wiper arms feature an over-center
hinge that allows easy access to the windshield glass
for cleaning. The wiper arm has a die cast metal
pivot end with a large mounting hole with internal
serrations at one end. A molded black plastic cap fits
over the wiper arm retaining nut to conceal the nut
and this mounting hole following wiper arm installa-
tion. The wide end of a tapered, stamped steel chan-
nel hinges on and is secured with a hinge pin to the
blade end of the wiper arm pivot end. One end of a
long, rigid, stamped steel strap, with a small hole
near its pivot end, is riveted and crimped within the
narrow end of the stamped steel channel. The tip of
the wiper blade end of this strap is bent back under
itself to form a small hook. Concealed within the
stamped steel channel, one end of a long spring is
engaged with a wire hook on the underside of the die
cast pivot end, while the other end of the spring is
hooked through the small hole in the steel strap. The
entire wiper arm has a satin black finish applied to
all of its visible surfaces.
A wiper arm cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
damaged or faulty, the entire wiper arm unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The front wiper arms are designed to mechanically
transmit the motion from the wiper pivots to the
wiper blades. The wiper arm must be properly
indexed to the wiper pivot in order to maintain the
proper wiper blade travel on the glass. The mounting
hole formation with internal serrations in the wiper
arm pivot end interlocks with the serrations on the
outer circumference of the wiper pivot driver, allow-
ing positive engagement and finite adjustment of this
