Wipers Again 88

Well I though i got it fixed by opening up the governor control box and soldering the board.Now only high wiper works no low or delay.To top this off it has worked great for about three weeks till it started to rain then its back to this. WTF Why does this wiper have a mind of its own? any help?

Isn't it fun???

Now that it's raining, you're using it more and it cooked the board again.
I even went so far as to replace some resistors with higher wattage ones,..and used heat sink paste.
Was it just a cold joint, or did you find something burned on the board too?

Finally caved and bought a new one.
But this time I just wrapped it in foam rubber and tucked it in there.
What a pain to get out!

There was an industrial sized article on this here a year or so ago that you may be able to dig up. Not sure if it'll help after you soldered things, but might be worth a try.

I believe you can eliminate the governor by using the two speed wiper switch and plugging it into the dash harness completely bypassing the governor (take it out entirely). Dan.

But you need the other switch, right?

It's not "a lower voltage" it's the way the windings are connected inside the motor.
But yes, that switch will plug into the harness after the intermittent wiper governor and you will have high and low speeds.
