It is sometimes called the 'Easytronic' wiper module, and it allows you to vary the delay between wipes to anywhere between 2 and 45 seconds.
It requires no other switches, knobs, wiring, or controls. To fit it, all you need to do is simply remove your old wiper relay and fit the new one. That’s it!!!
Once fitted, setting or adjusting the time delay is easy:-
1. Push the wiper switch to intermittent so it wipes once. (But don’t let its click into place, Allow the switch to return to the off position)
2. Wait until you need to wipe again. (The relay remembers this time delay)
3. Set the wiper switch so it ‘clicks’ into the intermittent position
The time delay remembered in step 2. Will now be repeated.
This delay can be adjusted as often as required, as the weather conditions change.
If you switch the wipers to intermittent, without setting a time, then a default 'standard' time is used.
Once the wipers have been switched off for more than or 1 minute, or the ignition is switched off, the remembered time is lost, and unless a new time is programmed the default time is used.
They are fitted to mid nineties Golfs and Passats which is where this particular relay came from.
