1. A selectively controllable heated wash system for a surface of a vehicle, the vehicle having a single electrical operator input switch for the wash system, the switch selectively switchable to an ON state, the system comprising:

  • a wiper system control module adapted to be operatively connected to the switch and adapted to sense duration of the switch in the ON state; and

    a fluid heating module adapted to heat fluid therein to a predetermined target temperature, the heating module controlled by the wiper system control module and adapted to be in fluid communication with a washer fluid reservoir;

    wherein when the wiper system control module senses the duration of the switch in the ON state according to a first predetermined time pattern, fluid is dispensed once onto the surface from the heating module, whereby the system is in a manual wash mode; and

    wherein when the control module senses the duration of the switch in the ON state according to a second predetermined time pattern distinguishable from the first predetermined time pattern, heated fluid is dispensed onto the vehicle surface following predetermined parameters, whereby the system is in an automatic wash mode.
