When you set it to "on", it should set the wipers resting position about 6-7 inches up so you can pull them off the windshield when you park in snow, and it make de-icing easier. Set to off, they should rest low enough that you cannot raise them without hitting the hood. Mine a re a little wobbly and don't rest correctly. It's an age thing.

Re: Motor Week '91 SVX Road Test Video
the only vehicle speed sensing the wipers do is when the intermittent wiper is on the full setting... The wipers will not stop during driving just like they would on the slow setting. BUT once you come to a stop, the wipers run an intermittent cycle. Once you begin moving again, they return to a constant pace

Re: Motor Week '91 SVX Road Test Video
Are you sure? But is that a side effect or intentional design? My money is on it being intentional. My wiper speed doesn't increase with rpms when stopped.

Re: Motor Week '91 SVX Road Test Video
Is the way the alternator thingie works... It is more noticeable when headlights are on bright climate control fan is running full blast. I always drive with all this going on and when stoped at a light sometimes will just switch the lights to lo beam and see a pickup in wiper speed.

Re: Motor Week '91 SVX Road Test Video
In my RHD 95 Aust model, the intermittent speed increases with speed. It is an intentional thing I think, not related to the alt output, unless the battery is low.

Re: Motor Week '91 SVX Road Test Video
Mine seems to vary with the difference in how wet or dry the windshield is, but not even sure about that. I thought that was a load current thing also.

Re: Motor Week '91 SVX Road Test Video
The wipers are designed to vary their speed with the vehicles speed. They started this in the XT6 (maybe XT)

It is supposed to change where the wipers "park" either down out of sight or up on the windshield where you can see them. Keith Last edited by kwren; 06-14-2008 at 11:26 PM. |

Could additional wiper speed variances occur as a result of the electrical load and voltage differences from the alternator say... Idle with a bunch of stuff on to say 40 mph? Keith |

Re: Motor Week '91 SVX Road Test Video
so if the switch is on wintermode the wipers will "park" higher on the windshield than they would otherwise. but when you say "park" do you mean when they come to a rest when the wipers are still on? or when you turn them off? or both?
