Intermittent wipers.


Recommended Posts

I'm in the UK and have an 07 Connect van. With our weather I find the normal wiper control frustrating. Slow or fast. So I was looking at updating it to the rotary intermittent wiper like other Fords have. A lot of Ford parts are interchangeable across the range. Eg. Mk6 fiesta steering wheel is that same as the Connect. The window switches are the same on a Puma. So. I found that the Mondeo wiper stalk is the same as the connect, but has the rotary control on it. So, I bought one off eBay and fitted it. It's a direct replacement and works the same. But the rotary does nothing. I presume it's just a relay that is missing now. Does anyone know?

I agree  -  You're probably missing more than just a relay.  Your steering column may not be wired for it and then whatever controls the variable speed (likely some electronics are involved) probably isn't in your van either

I swapped my OEM steering wheel for a leather covered one from a van the same year as mine and the new wheel has the radio and Bluetooth controls on it, but those controls can't be made to work on my van unless I replace a lot of expensive wire harnesses which just isn't practical to do even if I had the needed wiring  -  I'd have to disassemble most of the dash
