(Almost) OEM Intermittent Wipers for the FJ40 (1 Viewer)

[bikersmurf]

@unixman I'm very impressed with your undertaking. I'd certainly be down for one if the price isn't too crazy. Interval wipers would be a worthwhile addition to any old 40.

I'd keep the wipe for 3 seconds after squirting the windshield. It'd be a good excuse to put a washer fluid bottle back on the truck... it's only been 20 years now since I had a working wash feature

Hey @unixman - did this ever get sorted? And can it be applied to 1968-1974 overhead wiper models?

 

[caladin]

Interested, depending on price.. never knew i needed it, till you mentioned it..

 

[mcjb]

I'm in.

It was designed for coolerman's 71, so it should work. Post on page 1. Unixman tested it on his 78, so it might cover a broad range of years.

I'm in also

I sent one to Coolerman to try out but it was about the time he was having eye surgery again. The design is good but there are a couple changes I want to make. The cost would be around $55 +/- a few dollars. When Coolerman is able to give me some feedback I'll press ahead.

 

[tstepp920]

I'll pay you now....

 

[mcjb]

Me too. I'll get 2.

I'm in...that's cheap for the only thing I never liked about old "Olive"

 

[TXFJ40]

Yep... definitely interested!!

 

[SW20]

In as well.

 

[thebigredrocker]

Cool! I'd like A couple.

 

[cult45]

Looks like you and @Coolerman got a group deal @unixman!

 

[Vae Victus]

Dang. Uber jealous at the skills. As a guy with a computer engineering degree, I can appreciate what all you are doing.

And, I'll echo others - I'll buy one (er, two actually. It's a sickness).

If they're going to be a long term product, I'd take two. If you're going to do a limited run, I'd take about 10 more to flip on ebay.

I would be interested in one for a 74 and one for a 76 FJ40. Let us know when you are ready and want payment. Sounds like a great product.

Guys, Unixman sent me a sample of the wiper delay module and I have to say this thing is sweet! VERY small box that will simply disappear under the dash when installed. He sent it to me as a kit right about the time I started having my cataract surgery. My surgeries did not go well on one eye resulting in two more trips to the surgeon so I have been out of the loop for a while. I finally got a chance to assemble the kit. I installed the wires, crimped on the terminals, but did not install the terminals into the connector housings as I wanted to quickly test it on three different year harnesses. It worked perfectly on my 2/71! As long as the park switch stayed together that is... (My switch kept "breaking". I had repaired it years ago with soft solder instead of silver solder and it kept coming apart.) So on to the 76 harness test...

Being the idiot last night, I failed to turn off my +12V power supply when i was installing the module on my 76 harness. I managed to get two of the terminals together which created a short of course and I overheated the CPU... End of the testing....
Remember I had bare terminals exposed, not terminals safely installed into connector housings, so you won't have this issue.

I have humbly contacted Unixman for some replacement parts, so stay tuned for more testing. Just keep in mind: It does WORK!
