Ok gotcha so the original switch doesn’t need to be turned of first for the intermittent to work

Yeah that's the issue I'm trying to find a neat solution to. When you think about it the stalk wiper switch is at least 2 switches (one for OFF/INT/SLOW/FAST, the other for intermittent duration), just in a neater package.
My preference would be to have a wiper switch with 4 positions, OFF, Intermittent, speed 1, speed2, and a separate knob for the intermittent speed (which could just stay in whatever position it was last in and not have to be turned off as is the current arrangement with this board).
OR keep the 3 position switch and have the intermittent switch enable/disable intermittent and stay in the same delay position.
Working on the 3 position idea as I have that switch already, replacing the on board resistor/switch with a DPST push pull resistor. Just wrapping my head around the 2 speed wiper and how it parks which is causing me headaches.

Hi all

For my FB that runs EK electric wipers I installed an intermittent control as pictured a few pages back. The control is set on about 3 secs and hidden under dash out of sight. I used the original switch that has two terminals and three positions.

The wiring diagram is below. Good thing I had drawn it up when I did it cause it was 37 yrs ago. Now I can’t remember what I had for lunch

With the switch in position 1 both terminals on the switch go to earth meaning wipers operate continuously. Next position wipers operate intermittently.

thanks

Correct Mick

thanks Blacky

WOW - now THAT'S impressive .....................







................ how the hell do you still know where stuff is from 1988 ????????????

I used a VT steering column in my Ute and I have one for my wagon, the wiper stalk has 4 positions from memory Off, intermittent, low speed, high speed, I'll see if I can wire the intermittent board into the stalk when I get it, being an old grease monkey it may take some doing

Bit more done, we have a club weekend away this weekend so I need to pull my finger out and get this thing back together by Friday night .
Mounted the speakers tonight and fitted the cruise control cable to the throttle linkage

Tonight was finish wiring under the dash, change the instrument lights from blue to white and fit the carpet- what a #£*¥}&@ of a job putting the throttle pedal back in was

I suppose I should pull the cover off of Frank and start him to make sure I don't have any issues before the Weekend cruise, it has been a little while

Dash all back together, glovebox in , parcel shelf in , wheels on fluids done and started up to check for leaks. Wheels on just need to put the seat back in and ready for a road test. Brakes feel a bit tight will back them off a bit before driving

Gee, I like that radio !!

Nearly there Blacky………just about ready to hit the road!

Sounds great that radio Greg
All back together, wheel alignment done , seat back in- always a fun job on your own road test tomorrow arvo then load her up if it all seems OK

Took it for a drive, went down and washed it and fuelled it up ready for the weekend, noticed it was leaking water at the servo
Bugger it I am taking the Chev ..................

Doesn’t hurt to be ambitious, and flexible!
