Intermittent wipe for less than a tenner!

[cunning plan]

Variable Resistor?

this is very interesting, I am definitely in favour of something more than just on/off

Like this!

You got me thinking now, I might look in to perhaps replacing the standard switch with a three way rotary with positions for intermittant, slow and fast wipes. Of course, this would mean having a seperate wash button but I could wire this up with another delay circuit that could run the wipers for say 5 sweeps then shut off once you have finished pressing the wash button.

Thanks!

Do people actually use the fast setting? :lol: I hate using it and tbh, if the weather warrants fast setting I'll take the lovely safe, servo assisted, traction control enabled, variable wiper speed Alfa Mito :lol:

 

[KateLovesPurple]

Yeah, I have done in the past, admittedly not very often. I would hate to be caught out in heavy rain and not be able to see where I was going.

yes please x1

Yeah fair enough I suppose, I think I'd just pull over in that instance for 10 minutes, I can see the for and against! If there was a 3 position wiper switch I'd change mine for that but I'll keep it this was for now

I've driven my '71 on a motorway through storms where the faster speed wasn't enough either :shock:

I use a manual intermittent switch, have managed to retain slow and fast settings and also fitted an electric pump and switch in the original wash/wipe switch. Works fine for me.

I am presuming he has it fitted to the 'slow' wire to control the current going to the motor on the switch so you either have:

Slow, Fast, Uber Fast / Push a button / Intermittent, Fast, Uber Fast.

I am just guessing though. :satanlook:

Details would be great buddy.... oke:

Nope, I just turn the wiper on and off when I need it.

missed this word

manual

I thought that with the fancy pants MJ that you had also rigged something clever with your wiper

:lol:

 

[jonboylaw]

Nahhh, to be honest, I quite prefer the manual way as you can use just the number of strokes you need to clear the screen and not end up making squeaky noises with the wiper blades.

BTW the MJ is going great guns !

I'd be happy to sort out the basics of my wipers, no auto park so have to stop them when at bottom of the screen. Any ideas appreciated!
