Who has MY/Brumby with intermittent wipers?

Post by **Bantum** » Sun Feb 17, 2013 10:56 am

Just had a thought, it could be that only the 'Sport' model or 'Specials' in the early Series II Brumby years - say 1982 to 1988, have the intermittent set up ? Then all the later models had intermittent wipers ? Only going on what has been said here, yet to be proven ...

My 92 had only plain wipers, but had the white plug in the loom.
I got one lot of relay and switch from a Targa roofed Brumby

My 89 brumby doesn't have factory intermittent wipers, it does how ever have the aftermarket one, that's a relay and a rheostat in a box. It is wired to the low speed on the wiper controls.

I have recently aquired 2 intermittent wiper setups from 83 sports wagons at the wreckers.

Sunnie the Brumby - '88 build, '89 complianced targa top brumby did not have intermittent wipers as standard. These are added.

Damn, forgot the photo of the canister... I'll get one sorted now

Ok, here are the pics. Also to make a fool of me there are numbers and markings on the side that faces the strut tower - and it says intermittent relay on it too.

Totally not factory. Shit location for reduction of exposure:

Canister and wiring on either side of the strut tower:

Closer image of the spliced in wiring.

I would really like to make this look more factory but don't want to play with it when I don't understand what's been done or what needs to be done. Plus I'll run out of time with it to really sort it out.

The best I think I could do for now is get a new canister and relocated it to under the dash away from dust/moisture and heat cycles.

Cheers

G'day
I have a September 90 model special. It has the white six pin plug under the dash, with the bridging wire as originally described. So as I understand it I would only have to get a canister & wiper switch with intermittent position & I would Have working intermittent wipers. Can anyone confirm this.

Cheers Jake

G'day guys
I got the relay & switch today. Pulled the bridging plug off & plugged in the relay. Swapped my switches too & it all works perfect. Very happy & it took 10 minutes.
So the wiring is all existing in a 90 model Brumby special.

Cheers Jake

And no bugger said anything in between both your posts ! Good that it all works just the way mine did. My 84 Brumby does not have the essential white plug

. Lucky a preloved aftermarket is in it
