Front wiper motor

The wiper motor is a rotary motor without an electronic component. The wiper motor is designed for two different wiper stages. The wiper motor is activated by means of two external relays. The end position (rest position) of the wiper motor is detected by a reset contact installed inside the wiper motor. The reset contact shifts ground to JBE as soon as the wiper motor has reached the end position (rest position). The reset contact is also used for monitoring the wiper motor.
