    Hello all!

    I would like to know if anyone knows if the number of times the wipers
    sweep can be modified (lowered)when using the windshield wiper fluid?
    Mine wipe about 3 times too many (on a dry windshield by then) and it is
    very annoying...

    Thanks

    Well.... I think it has to do with the software in the car. You would
    have to configure the actual software in the computer system I think...
    and that is costly, unless you know computer programming.

    I would expect that it is hardwired in the control unit. it
    would be very surprising that they would have built in
    possibilities to modify such a "basic" operation.
    A technician might be able to tell you more.
    I know that I would like to have more control over my
    intermittent wiper setting on our S40. Our 12 year-old Ford
    Probe has a variable setting which varies from 2 to 10 secs
    or so - great for different conditions.

    Thanks for your input. I guess I will just live with it.
