My thanks to Ralph Gosnell, he let me borrow an original factory wiper interval wiper relay harness. I have since done some initial research and it looks like I could make these available, with a new relay.
I could make the harness available in the $40.-50. range, and the relay is available at cost for about $65. The harness would come with detailed pictorial installation instructions and the wires would be correctly color coded. It would take careful scrutiny to see the difference from my harness and an authentic factory harness. Please respond to this post if you would be interested in getting one of these harnesses. I suspect I would just provide the harness and tell you how/where to obtain the relay. Your response is not a committment to buy, I am just gauging interest to see if I should develop this idea further and order parts. Thanks! Jeff |

yepp, the later cars (i think '74 and onward) have the wires to hook this up.
actually, all you need to make it work on a older car is to run the brown/black wire somewhere to the inside of the car and add a switch. all the other wires connect to the wiper motor which are the same for early and late cars. btw. this is NOT a wiper delay, this is a "intermittend" switch. what it does is: if you move the wiper lever towards yourself to activate the windshield washer the wipers will come on and run 4 or 5 turns, then shut off. that's all! if you have a electric pump, you can extend the brown/black wire to the pump to also operate the pump when moving the lever. (same result as above). earlier cars don't have the needed switch on the wiper lever at the column (really early cars don't even have the lever, they have a knob on the dashboard). the easy way to test if you have the needed switch in your column is to find the brown/black wire that exists from your steering column into the wire-harness. there is a detailed reference to this complete "intermittend" wireing in the Haynes Book somewhere in the electrical pages. some of this is shown here: Wiper Relay Instructions hope this helps, Andy |
