March 14, 201511 yr is it possibly to make the rear wiper run on an intermittent setting? i know stock its ither on or off i was curious if there was a mod that could be done to make it happen?
March 14, 201511 yr sirtokesalot, If you were to tell us what model and year you have with each post you start, you would really get the answers you seek with a lot less confusion. Depending on the answers you are seeking, it also helps to give us the mileage on your car. Depending on the year of your car you may be able to retro fit a system that already exists . My 2012 OBW has this feature, as did my 2007 OBW and my 2004 OBW before that. I can't recall whether the one on my 1997 OBW did or not. On my 2012 I believe the circuitry computer that runs the rear wiper and its settings is inside the combination switch (the right hand steering wheel stalk that runs the wipers front and rear as well as their washers). Whether this is true on other generations, or whether the circuitry is in some module under the dash I couldn't say, as I don't have their FSM's. How all of this integrates with the body control module remains to be seen. Get back to us with the info and maybe we can give you ananswer.
March 16, 201511 yr Author is it possible to adapt a system form a later legacy into mine and if so what one?
March 18, 201511 yr Author going to the junk yard tomorrow would like to know if this is possible and what id need to make it happen.
March 19, 201511 yr Author well i guess this item is not going to be on the list of junk yard parts today.
March 19, 201511 yr I don't think their any OEM parts available to convert to intermittent rear wiper operation. I have seen after market switches available. However, they require you rewire to a new switch that you would have to add to somewhere on, or under the dash board. Maybe more trouble, then what it is worth.
March 19, 201511 yr Author i wouldn't mind if the factory on off switch just activated in delay mode. i never use it in full on and find myself just turning the switch every so often.
March 19, 201511 yr This article looks like lots of good info about adding delay to your rear wiper. If you want yours to be delay as the only setting when you turn it on, you just need to wire in a delay circuit somewhere.
