windshield wipers

Post by kolls »

Well, I am going to make self look silly here. oh well, but maybe it will help others. My windshield wipers when i would turn them on would go really slow and at the same time here the relay clicking .. turned the intermittant switch... still really slow.. read and read on them tore it all apart oiled everything really good made sure it was moving freely.. tested the motor..still same thing.. so then i see somebody talking about intermittant and continuous.. CONTINUOUS?!?!?!? HOW DO YOU GET INTO CONTINUOUS ??? so guess what i did.. downloaded the owners manual.. Thats when i found out my switch has 3 positions A. off B. intermittant. C. CONTINUOUS . I would say the switch is never been into position C due to i had to press it pretty hard to a point i thought i was gonna break it to get it there.. I then had to do some cleaning to get it to go into position C. easily and stay there. GEEEZZZZ... OH by the way. man in continuos the work just fine... lol

I've given up on those damn heater controls. Now I only drive my car when I don't need heat. :lol: And not driving in the rain has taken care of my need for windshield wipers.
