rshemmy Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Is there any way to convert the regular wipers on my 85 F150 to be intermittent? It seems that the slowest speed is too fast at times and gets annoying to keep turning off and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 It is very easy to upgrade to delay wipers. See our page at Documentation/Electrical/Windshield Wipers and then the Delay Wiper Upgrade tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go together as your old switch doesn't have a delay position. And they are available in the salvage as they were used for many years. You can see the years on that page.

grumpin Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Ok, Sounds good. Thanks Some folks don't know they have intermittent wipers or tilt steering wheels on these trucks. Have you tried turning the knob to the left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried turning the knob to the left? Amen to that! When I bought "Big Ugly" the 1990 F250, I was told that the wiper switch stop was broken and it would go past off, when I checked it had intermittent wipers, PO never knew it.

Intermittent wipers seemed to be standard on Broncos. I've never seen one in the pick 'n pull without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also find them on Ebay as I just got the box & switch used as I thought mine had stop working and they might again so got it just in case LOL Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBrother-84 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 You can also find them on Ebay as I just got the box & switch used as I thought mine had stop working and they might again so got it just in case LOL Dave ---- Just for fun, I just checked on eBay. Looks pretty expansive, over 100$ US. I suggest to verify at a salvage yard. I got mine (module+switch) for 25$ for the kit, at my local yard. No problem at all, works very well. The easiest upgrade I made to Big Bro. Plug’n play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
