Operación, resolución de
problemas, reparación del
limpiaparabrisas intermitente
(retraso) de Chrysler

Lo Que No Te Contaron
TL;DR—Bottom Line
Perdí montañas de tiempo desarmando y jugando con la Unidad de
Control antes de tomarme el tiempo para entender el circuito. No había
nada malo con la unidad de control en absoluto . Mi problema se resolvió
limpiando todos los contactos en el circuito Dwell. En realidad, limpié los
contactos del conector en todo el interruptor del panel [1] , la unidad de
control y el motor. Además, el motor de mi limpiaparabrisas no había
funcionado durante mucho tiempo ( años ), por lo que simplemente hacer
funcionar el motor durante un tiempo puede haber limpiado los
contactos lo suficiente como para que comiencen a funcionar
nuevamente.
Puntos clave:
High Speed
High speed is never used for intermittent wiping, nor parking. +12V is
output on panel switch terminal A, feeding the L connection on the
motor, same as for Low speed. Yes, the L as in Low speed connection…
stay with me on this. The H terminal on the motor is directly connected to
ground through the switch and the P2 terminal is also connected to
ground through the diode on the switch.
Off/Park
The motor runs in reverse at low speed until it reaches its parking
position. Here’s how that works. In the Off position, the panel switch
supplies +12V out of the P1 terminal to the P1 terminal of the motor.
Assuming that the wipers are anywhere other than the park position
when the switch is turned off, the motor’s P1 terminal goes through its
internal Park switch contacts to the unmarked contact on the motor,
which is electrically the same as the motor’s P2 contact. Over at the panel
switch, P2 itself is open circuit. The A contact of the switch which
connects to the motor’s L terminal and supplies +12V in normal Low and
High speeds is instead switched to ground. This is similar to Low speed
except that the current passes through the motor’s internal Park switch
and the polarity is reversed, so the motor runs backwards.
As soon as the motor reaches its parking position, its internal Park switch
switches from the motor’s P1 contact to ground. At that point, both the
motor’s L terminal (which goes to switch terminal A) and the unmarked
motor terminal (which connects to the motor’s and panel switch’s P2
terminal) are both grounded and the motor is braked to a stop and stays
stopped.
Intermittent Wipe
Before getting into current flow detail, it is worth mentioning a few fine
points of operation that i did not consider until i read about them. I was
under the impression that clicking the panel switch into a delay position
started the delay timing. Wrong. The point was made (sorry, i did not save
the reference to the person who wrote it) that the driver almost always wants
the wipers to start immediately, then go into delay. This simulates
someone quickly flicking a non-delay wiper control On then back Off.
This is a key distinction for properly testing the Intermittent Wipe Control
Unit: the delay timing does not start until the initial wipe is finished. In
other words, in detail:
Chrysler chose to use a separate Dwell switch on the motor. This switch
kinda sorta duplicates the operation of part of the Park switch, also inside
the motor: both the Dwell and Park switches close the circuit to ground
when the wiper blades are in the extreme down-most (parked) position of
their travel arc. The Dwell switch is critical to proper operation of the
intermittent wiping circuit! Here’s a schematic of the green-plastic-
enclosed 4222060 Intermittent Wipe Control Unit:

Ground
Four sub-circuits feed into a common point at resistor R8, leading to the
base of darlington transistor Q1, which does the actual switching of the
relay. R8, Q1, CR2, and the relay are shared in common between all
functions of the control unit. R8 is a current limiter to protect the
transistor. CR2 protects the transistor from inductive flyback pulses from
the relay coil.
Delay Timing
During the previous wipe, the positive end of C1 was charged up to +12V
via R5, with the negative end about three diode drops (CR4 and the
double base-emitter junction of darlington Q1) above ground—roughly
1.8V. The moment the dwell switch grounds out the positive end of C1, the
negative end of C1 slams to about -10.6V. CR4 prevents negative voltages
from discharging on any path through the common point effectively
isolating the charging path as follows. +12V passing through the variable
resistance inside the panel switch continues to exit the switch on
terminal R, connected to pin 8 of the control unit. The current passes
through R1, slowly charging C1 (eventually in reverse polarity, but don’t
worry about that—Chrysler engineers didn’t![3]). Eventually the voltage rises
high enough (approximately +1.8V) to turn on Q1 through CR4 and supply
+12V on the relay’s output to the wiper motor. The wipers do another
single wipe, opening the delay switch during the entire wipe sweep
(forward and back). Then once again the Dwell switch grounds out pin 1
and restarts the timer. The process repeats until the user changes the
control setting.
Testing
and Dwell switch adjustment/cleaning notes
2. Under the conditions of step 1, place panel switch in the Off (park)
position. Allow the wiper motor to park itself. Measure the resistance
between the motor’s Dwell terminal and ground. If it is greater than
about 5Ω, you’re likely to have problems.
After all this, all the functions of the wiper switch are perfect. The closed
resistance of my dwell switch is 0.1 ohms, NOT correcting for the meter’s
residual resistance.
Configuración
Elegí quitar la placa de circuito de la carcasa, principalmente porque no
había pensado las cosas de manera crítica y supuse que la electrónica
tenía fallas. Consulte a continuación las instrucciones de desmontaje si
también desea sacar la placa de su caja. Debido a que podía ver los
contactos del relé moviéndose, no fue necesario que conectara ningún
tipo de indicador de funcionamiento.
Testing
Initial Test
Apply power. The relay should immediately close. Leave the dwell switch
closed: the relay should open after about 1.6 seconds and stay off. This
proves that the kick-start circuit is operating properly. Remove power
and wait at least 10 seconds before the next test.
(Re-)Apply power. The relay should immediately close. When it does,
open the Dwell switch for about two seconds then close it again. The relay
should immediately open and stay open. This is an intentional external
failure mode: there is no variable resistance connected yet, therefore C1
cannot charge and the time delay is infinite. Remove power.
Wash Test
Set things up as for Full Delay Test, with maximum resistance (longest
delay) and the dwell switch closed. In addition add a Wash switch
between pin 7 and +12V (or simulate one with a clip lead or whatever).
During the time the Wash switch is activated, the relay should remain
closed, no matter what the Dwell switch is doing. When the Wash switch
is released, there should be one final wipe then the pre-existing delay
wiping should resume.
If any of the tests fail (and you are quite certain all your external wiring
and equipment is functioning properly), you have the choice of replacing
the Intermittent Wipe Control Unit or doing component-level
troubleshooting and repair of the one you have (beyond the scope of this
web page).
