So, I've only had mine for a month or so, but it became apparent to me that a delay windshield wiper option should exist. After lots of digging I didn't find anything on the aftermarket setup....so I started doing some additional research on how to make this happen. For anyone that wants to add this feature, I thought I would provide some advice.
It can be done...actually pretty simple once you have the parts figured out. It's pretty cheap to do also.
You'll need these parts from Amazon:
Delay - Amazon.com
Knob - Amazon.com
I found I had to grind down the circuit board in order to get it to fit in a switch opening. I also took liquid electrical tape and covered it completely to avoid any issues with it touching anything or corrosion moving forward. You can see it looks stock next to the standard wiper switch once installed. I cut the red wire coming out of the factory switch to tie in and then ran a ground wire up to the main buss bar to avoid any other cuts into factory wiring. The only "catch" to this is you get a very slight delay on the slowest setting. But you can adjust the rest of the delay with the knob up to 30 seconds. The wiper park feature works as it should. Really simple setup...and saves me a lot of messing around while driving.
