Intermittent Wipe

marlinturbo · #1 2nd August 2005, 06:56

Hi,

I can't seem to get the Int Wipe working...I was sure I kept everything from my donor loom...but I think I havn't got MFU 104...so I can't work out where the wires go from the Stalk and Motor Connector...I believe the wires attach to a timer/relay box...

Could someone descibe or photo their install, so that I could see if I have this box...a description of the wiring to it would also help a lot???

This is the last bit of wiring to do...

Hi John,

Just got out of hospital, more heart trouble.

My mate Steve got round this using a Sierra timer.

Not quite on my feet at the mo, but I'll try to get you the info over the weekend, he even gave me a spare, just in case so hold on mate help is at hand!

Regards Trev

Looking at the circuit diagrams it looks like it also controls the park function.

As my mate Steve works for fords he obviously was trying what he knew.

I have an 8 second delay that parks perfectly.

I'll get the details to you Saturday incuding the sierra part number

Trev,

Thanks for helping out, but please take it easy matey!
The loom has a wire from the connector for "park"...
I had bought a GLR8 int timer from VWP, but i've blown three fuses now trying to wire it up...so time to seek advice

Details of the Sierra item would be excellent.

Cheers,

John

Everything Steve did he noted in a book which is now my wiring bible.

He has noted the following:-Uses Ford Fiesta MkIII / Escort Mk III or IV integral wiper relay - Coloured RED. WISCH Interval.

Wiper Wire Match

Marlin Rover
Dark Green Power Green Grey
Red Green 1st Red Green
Blue Green 2nd Blue Green
Light Green Washer Green Black

There are 4 contacts on the relay numbered as follows

31 = Black
54 = Light green / Dark green
31B1 = Brown / Green
31B2 = Green Violet

Try that Mate, works for me.

I'll get out to the car at the weekend and take a few snaps

No problem mate any time. Can't make this weekend on the following (family wedding). But I'm off work for 3 days next week where I can be at your service. Or it's anytime the weekend after next.

Wiring started off scaring the life out of me. But I've found the answer to make life easier. And it's going really well and better than expected. I've think I could have the engine ready to fire electrical wise within a day. So have been doing the other bits (remote oil filter and header tank) to avoid temptation to start without mounting these. I've had her turning over on the starter with the key. I've been soldering and heat shrinking all the wiring. I have been held up with bits of this because I have a guy coming round hopefully this week about an alarm. So can't solder all the wire's I want just in case.

Just give me a shout mate.

Cheers

John

Trev, sorry to hear you've not been well, take it easy.

I've noticed that the wiring is causing headaches for some so would like to compile information you guys have into an article for all to see.

I'm gonna be starting a section in the knowledge base part of the site for specific build tips so would be great to kick it off with wiring diagrams, hints and tip for the 5exi build.

Doesn't need to stop at wiring of course, any specific areas of a 5exi build that 'insider' information would prove useful for others to see (I remember drive shafts being an issue)

If any of you can help out then please contact me at john@madabout-kitcars.com

Cheers, John

Trev,

Would this be it?

John

tomboysexi · #12 3rd August 2005, 06:28

Been out to the garage and picked up my spare.

The number on the side reads 4G 8 82.

On the top of the relay is the ford logo plus 68 125 and the words 'Winch Intervall Steuergerat 12V'

If you are having problems tracking one down, let me know and I'll post my spare down to you.

Regards Trev

Hi guys.

If we can find the part number and where it's located on the Sieera (Model's as well) I could alway nip down to the local scappies for you and get one. Might be a lot cheaper.

Cheers

marlinturbo · #15 3rd August 2005, 11:55

I was given Ford Part Number 6048782...but of course I havn't actually seen one...but it was described as a non-variable intermittent relay for a MKIII or IV Escort...

See if u could get a couple John?

Cheers mate.

John

limpabit · #16 3rd August 2005, 14:21

Just a quick update. My local motor factors have these in stock for £13.79 inc vat. Not tried the scrap yards yet.

marlinturbo · #17 17th August 2005, 16:10

Trev,

I plugged in your relay and it worked absolutely superb mate!
You're a star

If like me, you used the original donor loom then the green/grey wire on the return from the wiper motor becomes redundant, otherwise with this relay it is plug and go!
