Title: The one extra missing from my Elite.............
Post by: RichardH on 02 January 2008, 19:05:06
.............is the intermittent window wiper adjuster!!!

Why oh why was this not included on the Elite stalks?  Even my 99 GLS spec omega had an adjustable timer for the intermittent wiper.  In this miserable weather over here I miss it a lot.

Is it possible that mine is the only one without out it because maybe the car had a stalk transplant at some stage in it's history?

I guess its because you have rain sensitive wipers, rather than an intermittent setting

Mine has an intermittent setting but no adjuster (MV6). I wonder if it's just a stalk change? Just looked at the wiring diagram for the wiper switch and it's giving me a headache! Bear with me...

It is just a stalk change adn possibly a relay to....the adjuster simply varies a resistance in series with the intermittent wiper demand.

I was just curious as to why this feature was not included as standard on the Elites.  

Every time I show off to my girlfriend by telling her all the extras I have she shuts me up by saying " Ah but you dont have an adjustable intermittent wiper switch now do you....!" cos she has one on her car.. :-)

My car still wins on points though. ;D

Do you have a rain sensor (behind rear view mirror)? Later Elites have rain detetcting wipers rather than adjustable intermittent.

I bet hers doesn't have mirrors that adjust when you electronically move the seat and a rear veiw mirror that dims automatically ;D :y

Indeed... it seems that this feature has been removed when the rain sensor was introduced in 01/02.

Hi i have been reading the links and in one of them it say's that in the ice section there is a guide with the relay number but i carnt find the guide in the ice section and i want to do the up grade to my megga if its possible mine is a 95 year and has no control for the wipers.... so if its as easy as changing arm/stalk and relay im happy with that.
Pleas help

No wheel on my 02 elite either. And before a certain pensioner from Wackerfield says anything, Pete did not nick or replace it either  ;) ;) ;)
