KANTANKRUS Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Since replacing my windshield, the one and only speed of my wipers NOW Seem to function properly! I wonder if this new windshield is slightly flatter than the previous one? Also, likely slicker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 could be. there is usually a lot of drag on an old windshield. have you improved the ground for the wiper motor yet? do you have intermittent wipers on the stalk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the ground has been done and it did nothing. I replaced to motor, it did nothing. I did not replace the arm bushings yet. And yes, I have intermittent speeds on my stalk lever.

Pete M Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 it might be that the intermittent box has gone out. it's a little black box right above your feet under the dash and held up with with velcro. just pull it out, plug the 2 wire connectors together and bypass the box to see if your then have 2 speeds.

As far as I discovered [when I had that knee panel removed, months ago] I did not see that so called 'little black box' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 looks like this. Mine was attached with Velcro under the steering column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KANTANKRUS Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Pete and Rylee, at some point I will pull that knee panel off again and I will snap a few cell phone pictures, then share them with you here. I unfortunately do not remember seeing anything that even resembles either of the two items that you mentioned above. I do however have a flat rectangular yellow plastic box under there. I was told by our late and dearly missed, departed HOrnbrod that this box was related to the cruise control, of which does not work either. But until I revisit this area, I can not truly remember.

Minuit Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The yellow box is indeed the cruise control computer (only on Renix era vehicles). If you have the intermittent box, it will be roughly underneath the steering column, usually velcro'd to the metal part of the knee panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any year wiper module from XJ should work. Pete M is correct you should have 2 spd. wipers without module and yellow box is cruise module Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
