Intermittent rear wiper gizmo
Hi all,
Some time ago there used to be a electric gizmo touted for sale to wire into the rear wiper to have it intermittent rather than just constant

I have done a search online and eBay with no luck,

Any one got any ideas/ thoughts please ?

If available I would make it another whilst I’m at home doing nothing job Laughing and I think in reality it would be really useful

Thanks folks Thumbs Up

Good luck

Got to be honest, in the 10 years I have had my 90 HT I cant remember when I last ever used my rear was wipe. I take it you have the 99 relay for the front. that is defiantly worth its money..

There are threads on here (well, at least one) describing the fitment of a 99 relay into the rear wiper circuit.

I’ve developed a rear wiper wizard Laughing which varies the number of wipes on the back and wipes when washing etc.

It’s not plug and play at the current time but it’s all wired at the rear wash/wipe switches and front wiper timer.

I think the “gizmo” was a loom to fit the 99 relay to the rear wiper.  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Some years and several Land Rovers ago, I fitted this kit to the rear door of a TD5 Defender, which gave a fixed 20 second delay:

The kit came from an eBay seller and I haven't seen them for a while. It wouldn't be difficult to replicate, though.

If you really felt the need, I guess you could replace the relay with a '99' one for ultimate control. Darren

I’d be happy with a 20 second delay at times Rolling with laughter

As most things electrical are witchcraft to me can anyone give me a link to that kinda relay please ?
I’ll get one ordered up as Like many it will help to break cabin fever a bit
Take care out there folks Thumbs Up

That is still for a 2002MY type wiper system with the relay on the back door.

Is your Defender a 02MY (one piece rear door/large radio + switch panel) or an earlier one with the rotary rear wiper switch?  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Sorry, should have said, mines a 51 plate, that originally had the rotary control, ( now on a carling switch )
I’d be very happy of anyone’s wanted to make me one up with cables and a diagram ( for the challenged like me ) and post it, ?
Cost plus time and a beer token sound fair Thumbs Up although not sure when and where you would spend a beer token just now Confused
Thanks all,
Never know may even sell a few on here also ?

It is this simple, use a normal front wiper relay and wire it in like this behind the rear wiper switch in the dash. I have had this set up for years and it is fantastic. Thumbs Up

Good luck

Or take off your rear door panel, remove the standard relay and replace it with a VW Golf relay (i think - need to find the old thread).

Did it on mine years ago and works as an intermittent wiper. 2007 TD5 90 Hard Top
