What sort of price tag will be on the "mass marketed" ones Electroken? If reasonable I would claim one for sure.

Sweet.

Yep, when I got my fog light relay, I could of swore it looked factory. The work on it was real solid. ElectroKen is da man!

Count me in! I'm glad I started this topic. I hope this works out well.

Let's see if the thing works first. I had to make a lot of assumptions about the circuit that were based on my 2000 X.

If the design works as is I'm thinking about selling them for $20 delivered. It's a bit more than I anticipated, but they are a little tedious to make.

if it works and gets the damn thing to be intermittant, $20 is fine by me...

Same here - I'm thinking $20 is reasonable. The mods that people do around here are always professional with instructions and everything...

My hat is off to ElectroKen! Installed this little black box today, works exactly as advertised, I now have a 10 second delay, took Tats and I about 15 minutes, Only took that long because I wired it backwards initially

A few tips:

1. Open the fuse box under the dash, push the wiper switch assembly out the front.

2. Gently push the white tab on the side of the switch in, and pull the connector off.

3. Push the connector back through the opening where the switch normaly resides - this will gain you 3 or 4 precious inches in wire length.

4. I used quick connects on each wire, rather that trying to splice the wires together in one operation. I used ones similiar to these in the picture for 16-18 guage wire:


5. I was lazy and wired the power cable directly into the fuse box

Great little mod...this is the way to go for all you 2002 owners...

Yep, worked like a charm. Throws in about the same delay the 2000-01's have.

Great job Ken!

Hey ElectroKen,

How can the rest of us who want to add the delay get one?
I would pay $20 for the part.

Tomorrow I'll be ordering parts for 10 pieces. I'll build those 10 as quickly as I can stand it (it gets boring after awhile). I'll send them out in the order in which people have asked for them.

We'll handle the payment the same way it was done for the modified fog light relays - when it's installed and you're satisfied with it, send me a check or money order or Paypal for $20.

This "honor system" worked well with the relays. There was only one non-paying scumbag out of about 15 relays.

put me down for one. i can't wait to get this thing installed...

Please add me to the list. This sounds like the perfect solution to my problem. Thanks in advance. Lance

Me too!

Here are the first 10 victims - er, customers for the delay box:

1) Xterradon, who started it all.

2) Dariush Molavi

3) Steve49589

4) Orennoah

5) Gold Rush

6) Dssherrod

7) Hedron

8) Xcrement

9) Dandingo

10) Devin (added 8/10)

All of you should PM your address to me (and your names, too). I have only 8 addresses as of 8/10.

The smallest box I could get quickly is slightly larger than the original - 2.26" X 1.51" X 0.79".
I hope this doesn't ruin anyone's day.

ooh, ooh, ooh!! mee too!!

Hey man, very cool mod. I'd like to get the parts list for this if possible, also you said there was an option to use a dial to set the intermittent delay on the fly. I'd like to incorporate that as well. I may end up just buying one from you, but I like to tinker with electronics so....

Can shoot me an e-mail?

I have a schematic and a wiring diagram finished. Next I'll make a parts list with some alternate part sources. I have to convert these to PDF files and then I'll e-mail them to anyone that wants them.

But there's a catch - One of the parts is a programmed microcontroller. Without the ability to program a Microchip PIC12C671 none of the other stuff will do any good.

If you decided to make any more, I'd be interested.

I would also like to get my hands on one!!!!!!

If you ever feel like making any more rear wiper controls I would positively buy one from you!

I'd like an adjustable one as well. Most of the time it seems like the intermitant setting is set too long on my '01. Adjustable would be nice, but I have very little skills when it comes to electronics. To me all electronics work on the FM principle (F$%&ing Magic).

Xrugger---Good one. Thats HILARIOUS!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make me one. I can't stand the "constant-on" rear wiper, either.

ElectroKen---You've got mail!

I would also like to be on the list if you make another batch. Please Please!

I now have a drawing package for the delay module. I'll send it to anyone who wants to see the inner workings of the thing. Just send me a PM.
