  • Intermittent Rear wiper switch?

    Anyone know if there is a intermittent rear wiper switch that will work on the Festiva?

    Now that I have intermittent front wipers, I would like to do the same for the rear wiper if it is as easy as throwing a switch in from a different car?

    I am the genie of the lamp. Your one wish has been granted.

    Volvo relay.

    I have to admit, that is one of the sexiest relays I have ever seen.
    How the six terminals are wired, I do not know.
    Your guess is as good as mine.
    I am assuming the small terminal is the delay timer

      That was one thing I hated about the rear wiper on the Festy. It swipes too fast!

        "Wah wah, I have a rear wiper (and intermittent front wipers with an LX) while others have a basic L without even rear defrost. My rear wiper is too fast! WAH!"

        Sorry, but this is kinda how I felt today. It poured down rain, and that rear wiper was wayyyy too fast. But this ^^^^ kept going through my mind as I thought it. :p

          You might be able to wire this one in, in place of the OEM dash switch:
          90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
          09 Kia Rondo--a Festy on steroids!

            Ehh I thought someone may have knew a switch for another car we could use. But I guess there really isn't.

            I guess it is no big deal, I only even have to turn on wiper occasionally, mostly only at stops.

              I like the 93 GM switch. Will it fit in the slot sideways?

                I think the intermittent wiper slider from a Thomas school bus might work the best
