REAR WASH - FUNCTION - GF82.35-P-3001GH
MODEL 163
The rear wash function is activated by placing the rear wiper/ washer switch (S78) in the down position. The
switch contact connects the tailgate washer pump (M5/3) to terminal 15. The All Activity Module (AAM)
(N10) detects the activation of the switch via the second switch contact and actuates the tailgate washer motor
(M6/4) and the tailgate washer fluid pump (M5/3) for as long as the switch is on.
The activation time for the tailgate washer fluid pump (M5/3)is limited to 15 sec. To reactivate the pump, the
button must be pressed again.
To wipe window dry, the tailgate wiper motor (M6/4) remains activated for five seconds after the switch is
released.

As described for the rear wiper function, a relay circuit in the wiper motor stops the wiper in the park position .
WINDSHIELD WASH - FUNCTION - GF82.35-P-3002GH
MODEL 163
The windshield wash function is activated by pulling the combination switch, washer switch (S4s4) towards
the steering column. The switch contact connects the washer pump (M5/1) to terminal 15R. The All Activity
Module (AAM) (N10) detects switch activation via an input that measures power supply to the washer pump
(M5/1).
If the combination switch (S4) is in the Wiper Off or Intermittent position, the AAM activates the wiper
motor (M6/1) via rela
y F1k17 . To wipe windshield dry, the motor continues to operate after the switch has
