How many volts does it take to power the windshield wiper?

The voltage required to power a windshield wiper depends on the specific wiper motor being used. Most electric windshield wiper motors operate on either 12 volts or 24 volts. Some older vehicles may use a wiper motor that runs on 6 volts.

The voltage rating of the wiper motor will typically be specified in the owner's manual for the vehicle. If you are not sure what voltage your wiper motor operates on, you can check the label on the motor itself.

It is important to use a power source with the correct voltage for your wiper motor. If you use too high of a voltage, you may damage the motor. If you use too low of a voltage, the motor may not be able to run properly.
