Wipers, 69Myway.....
Hey Chris, got that linear actuator in there and working fine for the wiper door, goes up and down like a charm, intermittent wipers and all....
gotta love it, looks so much cleaner without all that hose plumbing all over the joint, and the mechanicals were not so bad, really....
the relays amounted to one for the wiper motor, that also is SPDT killing the lid motor when wipers are up....all done by Radio shack alarm contactors....so I using a late GM fan controll relay for that, then glues piggyback style a DPDT and a SPDT relay on top of the plastic case, wired it up, and looks fine....I could add yet another relay to hold off lid closing when wipers are in sweep mode, but find it easier to just turn it all off when wipers are at rest between strokes....ho hum, maybe manyana...

i'ts not all that hard, realy, just sat at the kitchen bar counter, and drew it out, I knew I needed a SPDT relay to reverse the actuator motor, I had to stop it at the ends of the stroke, and I had two magnetic actuated switches that closed when the magnet is near,...
so I gooped two magnets, one toward the windshield, and one over a couple inches and toward the grill panel....put a sensor/switch in the grill panel, hardly shows....and put on on the widnshield, gooped to the glass.....
so since I have had for years now, intermittant wipers....with the operating vacuum assist door, and now have gone all electric for the whole thing, operation is much simpler, far as I"m concerned....
vacuum sux, as in dirty floors....
