Systems use a standard 2-speed wiper motor for LO and HI speed wiper operation. Most systems also have an adjustable intermittent function, which can delay wiper action between cycles. Front wiper and washer functions are controlled by wiper/washer switch, which is part of combination switch. When wiper/washer switch is turned off, wiper motor internal ground will operate wipers until reaching PARK position.

Rodeo and Trooper have an optional rear wiper/washer system. Trooper may also have an optional headlight wiper/washer system. Wiper and washer controls for rear wiper/washer and headlight systems are mounted on dash panel.
