    Default VP Calais (level 3) Wiper Switch

    Hey guys I've finally finished my VP level 3 conversion with sucess in combining a level1 switchblock and level 3 switchblock to retain the demister and interior light delay functions on the one switchblock (I will be posting this info in the level 3 conversion thread).

    But one things that doesn't work is the wiper delay/dwell circuit. The 1 and 2 speeds work but the dwell doesn't also when you turn it off it just stops wherever it is at the time.
    So basically my question is: Is the dwell circuit BCM controlled or should it work normally ?
    Now it could be something i did as i had to modify my PCB to accept the original switches. Anyways if anyone can give me a definitive answer that'd be great.
    Cheers Pub

    no unless it has the slider controls that stick out the side for it on the switchblock ...the dwell is the exactly the same as the l1 setup and you said you used your old parts anyway.It is in the little board on the back of the main board.

    Yellow wire does the auto park function so if you put your old wiper board on the switchblock it should all work...alternative is always the vr/s stalk install
