Wiper trick...

[wedgemon]

I got tired of reaching for the wiper switch every time rain or snow or wet roads wanna just spit on the windshield. I needed something to trigger the wipers, from the steering wheel - or someplace more convenient.

Grabbed the voletmeter. Check the two wires to the plug on the wiper motor. And, discovered if you jumper these with the ignition on, you blow up Cleveland. Not really, but, the wipers will cycle.

So, I grabbed a old cell phone coiled charger cable, soldered on a red momentary contact switch, fashioned a small holder on one of the spokes of my Grant wheel, ran the cable down the bottom of the column and jumpered the two wires.

I now have a wiper button, convenient to my left thumb while driving. Works great. And, Some kid at A-Zone yesterday wanted to know where my NOS bottle was. I told him it was new BLUE liquid NOS and it's right here in this transluscent bottle on the fenderwell.

Try this trick guys. Don't see why it wouldn't work on the dash, shifter, signal stem, or even a foot switch.

. . . sure hope Cleveland is ok.
