Abstract:

A circuit for coupling the operation of the headlights and parking lights of an automobile to the operation of the windshield wipers consists of a first switch controlled by the presence of wiper motor voltage. The switch is in parallel with the headlights switch to effect operation of the headlights. A latch provides for the continuous operation of the switch in the event of loss of wiper motor voltage, such as when the wipers are operated in a pulsed mode. A second switch, controlled by operation of the first, operates the parking lights. The circuit includes elements to release the latch to disengage the first and second switches to turn the lights off when the wiper motor is turned off, and preferably includes the parking lights switch as a part thereof.
