Just a question about the UC that had the int. wipers fitted , was the int. function a "switched" position on the stalk that enabled the
int. wiper function to work rather than the spring loaded one shot on the others ?...or did they use the same one shot spring loaded switch to trigger some sort of latchable circuit that was then de-latched by doing the same as if to turn the int. on again ?

Someone will tell me if I'm wrong but pretty sure its the same as early Commodore - the stalk has nothing to do with it. You switch the intermittent on and off (and adjust the delay) with the separate knob. You still switch them on full time using the stalk (or whatever normal switch) whether the intermittent is on or off.

Basically I think the intermittent box just injects momentary power into the low speed wiper circuit, just long enough to trigger a sweep and then lets the motor park itself.

 

I've never used a Torana one but the intermittent wipers in a HZ I had years ago worked completely independent of the main wiper switch, you turn the system on with the first click of the knob and then adjust the frequency from there. The early Commodore ones are the same in operation.

I just used a UC wiper dwell system, I also use the UC blinker only to have the headlight dipper at hand rather than on the floor and run decent HI & Low headlight relay circuits,  

 

The intermittent system doesn't run or operated through this stalk switch. The unit only has four wires to connect. power wire, earth and in & out for the wiper motor intermittent feed. I cut and joined the in & out wiper dwell wires to the high speed circuit so it will do a quick sweep or you can hook it up on low speed if desired. I put the dwell switch in the hatch console and look factory fitted.
