Hi all,
I know there is much discussion with the wiper delay function and service guides for the OEM delay units on this site.
for years I have had no delay functionality on my P6 and now need it due to using daily and the current weather conditions.
Moving away from the OEM set-up, I propose to buy a small electronic delay unit (initially sold as a delay for turning on headlights after starting car) which has a variable delay setting and to introduce this in series with the connection from the 'Delay' setting on the dashboard switch to the wiper assembly.
I ask if there is any reason mechanically, that simply switching / delaying the power feed to the wiper motor won't permit intermittent operation. I presume the delay mechanism is broken and won't offer any mechanical resistance to the wiper operation.
That said I will also check electrical connections and earth points as well.
Appreciated,
Simon
