Thread: B13 variable intermittent wiper mod? YES!

At this point I know how to mod the board and "make it work" with the standard B13 intermittent stalk and a stand alone volume control. What I'd really like is to find a stalk that'll do it, but the two I've tried had issues firing off the washer fluid because of alignment issues between the switch body and a stalk that really doesn't belong in it.

I have to get my head together, but I'll come up with something. Tonight I celebrate.

awesome dude...persistance pays off.
When you truly get this working so it looks and acts factory...I would pay a good amount for one knowing what you went through to make it happen.
Congrats!!

Thanks man, I knew I'd get it eventually.

So, it may be the wine talking but I'm thinking around eleventy dollars.

For me it would be a b14, and id ont need the sprayer to work (cf hood lacks the sprayers) if your wanting to try

B14? Variable Intermittent Wiper Conversion

The easiest way to do this (initially) is going to be with a "stand alone" volume control mounted either on top of the steering column cover or on the dash, possibly in the knock out next to the power mirror switch. I like the looks of this one, but it's $15+.....




Now I need to find a compatable stalk, and I already have some thoughts....

This is with a modded USDM board and the fixed intermittent stalk.

Nice one bro... Then no need for the phdm board...

I hope i did help you.... Very nice...

No, no need for the PHDM board. The USDM board can be modified by simply removing one resistor and placing a lower value resistor in the spot right next to it, then of course the two wires going to a volume control. What I do need to figure out is a stalk to match. I have a few ideas, now I just need time to get to the junk yard, then testing.

What now makes it easy is that everything is installed in the car. All I have to do is pop the volume control out of the dash, unhook the wire to it and jump in the stalk of my choice. Once I find a stalk that is compatible I have to figure out how to mount it into the switch body.

The pisser is that I had the board modified properly at my first attempt, but because the stalks wouldn't work I assumed the board was still wrong.

And you are correct Sir, I would not have gotten this far without your help. Props to you my friend!
