Ford Transit Connect Windshield Wiper Systems

Windshield wipers are one of the more common auto accessories that every car operator is familiar with. Their main purpose is to wipe water, particles, and snow from the front and rear windows to provide the driver with a clear view of the road regardless of the weather conditions.

How does the windshield wiper motor work?

The wiper motor in the Ford Transit supplies the power the windshield wipers need to operate. The parts on the outside of the vehicle include the wiper arms, wiper blades, and a spring linkage. The linkage transfers the power from the windshield wiper motor to a back-and-forth motion of the wipers.

A standard Ford Transit comes equipped with two front windshield wipers and one rear wiper. The wipers are mounted with pivots that keep them securely in proper position. One of the wipers is placed directly in front of the driver while the other is secured in the middle of the front windshield and wipes the debris on the passenger’s side.

Wipers have pressure points that allocate the pressure evenly along the wiper blades to assure smooth operation. The higher the number of pressure points, the better performance of the blades. The rubber blades are replaced periodically as they wear out faster than any other part of the wipers or wiper motors.

How long do the Ford windshield wipers last?

With typical driving habits and standard mileage of 12,000 miles per year, the Ford Transit windshield wiper motor and wiper arms are expected to last throughout the life of the vehicle. The windshield wiper blades should be changed every six months, or they may start smearing and obstructing the visibility.

Where is the windshield wiper switch?

The switch is located on the steering column of the Ford Transit. It triggers the windshield wiper motor. The motor then powers the wiper arms with rubber blades that remove debris from the windshields. If the switch cannot be turned on, the visibility may be very clouded.

What are intermittent windshield wipers?

Most Ford Transit wipers have low- and high-speed settings that run continually. The intermittent setting allows the windshield wiper motor to stop the blades at intervals between the wipes. Some Ford Transit models contain one intermittent speed. Others may come equipped with several different settings that allow the driver to properly control the wipers. The newer Ford vehicles include rain-sensing wipers that remove the need for constant adjustment of the wipers by the car operator.
