The last work we did on Don9146's car was to fix his turn signal problem, and work on getting his intermittent wipers to work.
We got the wipers to work on high, low, and intermittent, but when you put it in the off position they still worked intermittently. Anyone else have this problem? I do have to say that a DAPO hacked his wiring harness some, but it has been carefully repaired. |

could be a short in the switch or in the wiring somewhere. I'm not sure how the switch is installed b/c i don't think 914 came with intermittent wipers. Good luck.

Get this, My windshield wipers work great, unless it raining (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) then for some reason they only work intermittently. I have to bang on the steering wheel to get them to finish a cycle.

The self-park circuit and intermittant feature both depend on the contact wheel (? cam? whatever) that is turned by the wiper moter so that once the process has begun, it stays connected (I think grounded) until the wiper is at the rest position again.... Maybe look for a ground that shouldn't be there?
