[FC] Momentary wiper switch

[J R Read]

Hi Andrew,

You are correct about the two speed washer/wiper switch operation and yes, 
they were available in FCs.  It might be hard to find an aftermarket delay 
switch now since delay wipers have been standard on new cars for a long time 
(30 yrs?).  A spring loaded "momentary" switch might do the trick if you are 
just trying to achieve one swipe of the blades at a time.

Later, JR

Dear Corvair Electrical Guru's,

I'd like to add some sort of momentary feature to my wipers. I do not have a 
windshield washer on the van. What I am thinking is using a two speed wiper 
switch from a car and using the washer button for the momentary switch. IIRC 
when you press the wiper washer button it turns on the wipers and pumps the 
fluid thru the nozzle, but you have to manually turn the switch back off. Is 
this correct? If so I'll need to figure out how to modify the switch to 
cycle the wipers only once when pressed.

Does anyone had an experience doing something like this? Would it be easier 
to add an aftermarket momentary switch under the edge of the dash?

And finally, were windshield washer equipped FC's available with 2 speed 
wipers or were they single speed?

Thanks,
Andrew Sego
