Thats whats in the DSE wiper motor kit, a guy on Protouring is making a switch so you can use the delays in the motor,

here's the switch he's selling, http://www.pro-touring.com/showthrea...t=wiper+switch

And here's the link for the wiper motor thread, http://www.pro-touring.com/showthrea...pers-uncovered

there's 5 pages of info, it's just another item to make them more modern,

Thanks Tony,

they, as in the county, have these really stupid ideas that all this certain area is "conservation wetland" and it all has to be protected, when really it's just a lowland that holds water, and the reason it's holds water is 30 yrs ago when they built the roads the just bulldozed dirt where ever they wanted, and because of that, the back of the land holds water, no special plants, grasses, or wildlife,

funny, before hopping on ls1tech today I sent out my plans for the new shop to my township.. I know what you mean, these garages make the cars hit the back burner.. I am hoping to have a 30x48 approved..
