Adding intermittent wipers

Is this possible? Has anyone done this? I'm sick of my wipers with an on and off switch type BS

good question. I know there are some aftermarket units but wonder if there is a way to retro fit a factory setup.

So its just a matter of changing the switch? I remember that thread actually...Imma tard

Ive done it, and its easy to do, you need to replace the wiper switch and you alse need to get the delay box and install it, there is a plug with a jumper on it above the computer, remove the jumper and plug in the delay, there will be a spot above the computer that the relay box clips on to hold it, and thats it. also keep in mind that its not possible to do this on all trucks because some trucks don`t have the plug with the jumper thats needed.

i'm an idiot too... I just realized today that my 89 does have intermit. wipers... I've only had it for about a week so i'm still finding things out about it.

Super easy mod, the hardest part was taking it apart... Takes a good hour going at a slow pace.

I didn't have time to take pictures when I was actually doing it. Was covered in grease from the steering wheel hub.

Its really easy, trust me. Once you remove the steering wheel and colum cover you can see everything..

Once I plugged in all the wires in the correct slots it worked perfect... didnt have to touch anything else.
