A waterproof construction of a wiring harness in which a plurality of splicing wires passed through a water immersion area likely to be subjected to water immersion in a motor vehicle and spliced with each other are bundled with other wires, comprising: a terminal which is attached to a distal end of one of the splicing wires; a connector which is disposed at a predetermined position such that the terminal is mounted in a spare terminal pocket of the connector; and a splice portion in which the one of the splicing wires is spliced with the remainder of the splicing wires at a location spaced a predetermined distance from the predetermined position of the connector and disposed in a water nonimmersion area not subjected to water immersion such that the splice portion is disposed in the water nonimmersion area at all times.

Waterproof construction of wiring harness

A wiper control apparatus includes a main relay switch for passing the voltage received from a power supply to make the wiper control apparatus operable, an ignition switch for passing the voltage from the power supply to make the vehicle operable, and control means for controlling the ON/OFF operation of the main relay switch. The control means operates in response to the conductive state of the ignition switch to render the main relay switch conductive. After a predetermined time in response to a cut-off state of the ignition switch, the control means renders the main relay switch non-conductive. The predetermined time allows the wiper blade to move down to a predetermined park position of a windshield after the ignition switch is turned off.
