Just to enlighten you further . It turns your wipers into programmable intermittent wipers Thumbs Up

...and when using the washers the number of wipes changes depending on how long you hold the washer button rather than the standard 4 wipes no matter what.

Very instinctive to the point you dont realise you are doing it. Flick stalk into intermittent mode and back off when seconds pause you want has passed. Now set until you do the same thing again to change it. Its kinda automatic as you switch things on and off like that whenever the standard pause isnt correct anyway.

Another way of thinking when programming the wipe delay on these 99 relays is to turn on the intermittent wipe then off, wait for the screen to "fill" with rain and switch on and leave on. I use this idea as it gets programmed to suit the conditions, you can soon alter the delay as the rain gets heavier or lighter. I very rarely use the other continuous wipe modes these days.

Wow, that sounds great! Good luck with it all. Give us an update after you have been using it a while. Regards
