MAZDA
DESCRIPTION
All models have a 2-speed wiper motor with intermittent wipe
feature. GLC and RX7 models may be equipped with a rear window
wiper/washer system. The wiper switch for GLC Wagon is a lever on the
left side of the steering column.
On all other models wiper lever is on the right side of
column. A time delay relay is used to control the intermittent cycle
on all except RX7 models. On RX7, wipers are timed by the "Control
Processing Unit" that also operates a number of other accessories.
OPERATION
GLC WAGON
The wiper speeds are controlled by twisting the lever to the
left of the steering column. The washer is operated by pressing in on
the end of the lever. The rear wiper on GLC Wagon is turned on by
pulling out the dash-mounted switch, while the washer operates when
the switch is turned.

ALL OTHER MODELS

The wipers are controlled by a lever on the right side of
the steering column. As the lever is moved down, it switches the
wipers to intermittent, low speed and high speed. If the lever is
pulled toward the steering wheel, the washer sprays.
If the lever is pushed away from the steering wheel, the
wipers sweep until it is released. The rear wiper/washer on GLC
Hatchback is controlled by a rocker switch on the instrument panel.
The RX7 rear wiper switch is on the console.
TESTING
WIPER MOTOR
1) Remove wiper motor from vehicle. Connect jumper wires to
connector at motor to check both speeds. For low speed, connect
battery voltage to Blue wire terminal and ground the Blue/White
terminal. For high speed, ground the Blue/Red terminal instead.
2) To check the park switch, apply battery voltage to the
Blue wire terminal. Connect a jumper wire between Blue/White and
Blue/Black. Ground the Black wire. Motor should run briefly and stop.
