Default sierra rebuild wiring isms :cry:

Right am rebuilding sierra into new shell at mo and thought I'd make some improvements

One annoying thing with these old heaps is a lack of auto wipe when you wash the windscreen . Was thinking of using redundant headlamp wash/wipe but it doesn't behave the way I thought it would so..........

Help

How can you get this feature into sierra's

Cheers

Matt

Can you add a relay - coil triggered by the wash, contact bridges the wiper switch.

If you want it to stay on for a couple of seconds after the wash, you'll need a multi-function timer instead. We use them here in work, it will hold on the output for a set time after it's input is dropped.

Any help?
