Was checking old threads and was wondering if anyone has gotten this switch to work for delay of wipers. If so how did you wire it up
Hella Windshield Wiper Control Switches 001871041
Thanks 1964

Thanks does anyone know if the wiper switch is negatively or positively grounded (Also has anyone gotten this switch to actually work since it is over $70.. )
Thanks again

ALL Corvette (and any other U.S. cars since the 30's) are NEGATIVE ground.

Thanks John for the info I will probably go ahead and order one

latest update: I emailed another Forum member (Mikey) and he said that when he tried this switch the wipers barely move from the park position and then the delay circuit shuts off and they return to park before they fully wipe the windshield. So unless else actually got this to work and let us know the Hella Switch will not work. Thanks Mike for letting me know
Merry Christmas to all

Here is an option if you would like delay wipers. Mounts in original firewall holes and requires NO permanent alterations to the car. Switch mounts in factory dash and uses original ****. Reliable motor with hi-low and 5 intermittent speeds. No washer function....like any of us use that anyway. Good option for a driven car.

If anyone has this switch and would like to recoup part of their investment, I'd be interested in it. I have a 1970 Mercedes I'd like to try it on.

Not sure about 30's or 40's but 50's fords were positive earth 6v until 1956 when they changed to neg earth 12v

Have found a solution and it works very well on my 64 ...uses original switch and module mounts under dash ..easy to install and very decent price.
