  "textContent": "A wiper control apparatus includes a combination switch 2, a wipermotor 7, an autostop (AS) switch 8, a first semiconductor switch element 4 for on/off controlling energization of the wiper motor, a second semiconductor switch element 5 for turning on a closed circuit which passes a reverse current through the wiper motor 7 while the energization for the wiper motor 7 is off, a controller for ON/OFF controlling the first and the second semiconductor switch element, a current detecting resistor RS1 for current flowing through the second semiconductor switch 5, and a current limiting circuit A for limiting the current flowing the second semiconductor switch element 5 when the current detected by the current detecting means RS1 exceeds a prescribed threshold value. In this configuration, a wiper control apparatus can be provided which can solve the problem when the abnormality of short-circuiting downstream of the wiper motor occurs, is compact, reliable and surely operable using semiconductor switches and a digital-controlled controller.",
