Wiper Motor in a Car

The wiper motor in a car is a vital component of the windshield wiper system, responsible for moving the wiper blades across the windshield. It is located under the car's hood, usually near the base of the windshield. The wiper motor is connected to the wiper linkage, which translates the motor's rotating motion into the back-and-forth movement of the wiper arms and blades.

The wiper motor is powered by the car's electrical system, typically through a dedicated fuse. When the driver activates the wiper switch, a signal is sent to the motor, prompting it to start rotating. The motor's rotating shaft is equipped with mechanisms that convert the rotational movement into a reciprocating motion required to operate the wiper arms. This reciprocating motion allows the wiper blades to wipe the windshield's surface, removing dirt, water, and other debris, thus ensuring clear visibility for the driver in various weather conditions.
