Where is the windshield wiper switch located?
1 Answers
The windshield wiper switch is located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, while in a few car models it may be on the left-hand stalk. More information about car windshield wipers is as follows: 1. Function of windshield wipers: To remove raindrops and dust from the vehicle's windshield, improving driving visibility and enhancing road safety. 2. The windshield wiper assembly includes components such as an electric motor, reducer, four-bar linkage mechanism, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. 3. When the wiper switch is pressed, the electric motor activates. The motor's rotation speed is converted into increased torque through a worm gear mechanism, which drives the wiper arm. The arm then moves the four-bar linkage mechanism, causing the shaft mounted on the front bulkhead to swing left and right. This motion drives the wiper blades to sweep across the windshield. 4. After using the wipers, it is necessary to promptly remove any ice buildup on the blades. Before parking, always turn off the wipers before shutting off the engine.
