Where is the windshield wiper switch located in a car?
1 Answers
Most car wiper switches are located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, though a few models may have them on the left-hand stalk. These are commonly referred to as stalk-type wiper switches. To use the wipers, simply pull the wiper control lever toward the driver to activate the washer fluid spray. Below is an introduction to windshield wipers: 1. The wiper system consists of components such as an electric motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its primary function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct visibility. 2. The power source for the wipers comes from the electric motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. Wiper motors typically use DC permanent magnet motors and are often integrated with the worm gear mechanism when installed on the windshield. The worm gear mechanism serves to reduce speed and increase torque, with its output shaft driving the four-bar linkage. This linkage converts continuous rotational motion into a side-to-side oscillating movement.
