Wid horses view finder winshield

[John Marinan]

I have an installed viewfinder windshield. I'm trying to find out how to make the wipers intermittent, Have any of you done this? I called WH but the salesman did not know anything about it. Thanks

Guess I'm in the same boat of not knowing with 100% certainty Johnny, but I would think that since it's an electric wiper, one of the usual methods of converting to intermittent would work?

Namely, either one of the switches with the build in circuitry for that function, or one of the tried-and-true old Ford modules connected to it's matching switch. The most common ones used were from the late seventies trucks, but I would imagine that later ones would work too, if the connections were the same. Or you could modify one to work even then too I would think.

Just don't know I guess. Hopefully someone will chime in with their experience with this. Meanwhile subscribing and back to the top.

I thought WH sold a switch that would make non-intermittent wipers intermitent....

I couldn't find the the 70's Ford OEM intermittent switch at WH anymore....
But eBay has them
A member here sells them
TBP and BC sell used ones.

We do. The reason I mentioned it only vaguely though was because I can't remember just exactly what wiper setup the Viewfinder comes with, and whether or not switches were plug-n-play or the wiring would need modifications.

I just wanted to bring up the possible options, including old factory stuff, so that John knew he might have choices.

Aww.....
True, true,

The view finders wiper motor is a completely different animal than stock.

Paul is the voice of reason/knowledge.....again.....

I called and spoke with James and he said your switch would only work with dual motors. The motor I used in the windshield frame came with the kit, I think it's from an S10 or something similar.

I think it is from a Geo Tracker

You can use aftermarket intermittent switch designed for single motor. Or find the old 78/79 wiper switch that can be used for converting EB switches to intermittent.

I've attached an old sheet that shows what to do once you have the switch. This applies if you have original EB switch in place now.

Hope that helps

Since the motor is controlled by the 2 speed switch now, it seems like it work fine with the 78/79 switch. I'll give it a try. thanks for the help I appreciate it.
