hi, cant beleive the crap the rta in nsw say..... most things seem a bit
easier here in sa...
any way the only way i can figure out how to increase the speed of the wipers
is to increase the voltage to the motor. i think i am pretty sure that some where
i have a schematic diagram to increase the voltage to a heater fan in a car. so
that it would blow more air. ( any electric motor can handle a couple of extra
volts safely)the idea would be the same to the wiper.
this schematic increased the voltage to about 15 volts ( if i remember
correctly) at about a 3 amps .
if you really want this let me know and i ll try and find it.
or what might be easier is to get a voltage doubler 12 to 24 volts, should be
available at four wheel drive stores maybe... then reduce it down to a few volts
above the voltage at the wiper motor.
be careful that the voltage device can supply the correct amount of current....
email me for more info if you need it.
