Abstract: A selectively controllable heated wash system for a vehicle surface includes a wiper system control module operatively disposed in the vehicle and may be adapted to receive at least one sensed input. A fluid heating module is controlled by the wiper system control module, the heating module adapted to heat fluid therein to a predetermined target temperature, or to a preferred temperature determined as a result of recognition and analysis of the sensed input(s). Fluid is dispensed onto the surface from the heating module manually, according to predetermined parameters, or according to predetermined parameters determined at least in part as a result of recognition and analysis of the sensed input(s).

Abstract: A motor housing assembly includes a motor housing with two magnets disposed in the housing in a spaced relationship and a brush holder that couples with the motor housing. The magnets are disposed inside the motor housing to form two spaces in between the magnets. The brush holder has two tabs that extend inside the motor housing in between the two spaces. The tabs allow the brushes in the brush holder to be aligned solely based on the magnet position to ensure that there is proper angular alignment between the brushes and the magnets.
