I believe some sierras had an adjustable period on the intermittant wipers controlled by a knob on the dash. Does anyone have one spare and if so can someone let me know the highest and lowest resistances accross it?

Cheers!

"High spec" models did yes, I have but unfortunately it is in my car, I guess yours is not working right?

The dash lights also have a rheostat.

I have a sierra wiring loom in a kit car and the wires are present but not the knob. Id source a sierra one but Imagine it will come in a specific moulding which wont fit my dash so I just want to source the actual potentiometer but obviously need the values

so do you want the figures in ohms?

Lloyd

0.00 to 51.7
iam no electrical genius lol, but set the ohm meter at 200k. click to watch the vid.

Awesome, thanks a lot! Hopefully a 50k ohm pot wont be hard to come by!

50K ohm pot VERY common value, cheap enough on begay.

there was a "low spec" and a "high spec" loom on the siera's and all the "high spec" cars had the plug there

just make sure it's not for the dimmer switch though as the plugs are the same, the colours are different though, ones yellow and ones white, from memory

Ive had the loom in bits on the floor and its definitely in the wiper circuit :P
