Intermittent wipers on Marti ?
« on: January 17, 2023, 11:16:09 PM »
Would a Marti report list intermittent wipers ?

As i began to prep the intermittent controller for installation ,  i happened to check my Marti report and it does not specifically list intermittent wipers on the report.

The intermittent wipers were on the car when  i got it (?81) and always worked well.   But i?ve heard intermittent wipers were an easy retrofit so perhaps the PO added them sometime in the 1980?s.

If turns out not original to the car,  i won?t install the controller.

It is a non typical option for a Shelby so it should be on the Marti report in some fashion.

This seems to point to PO retrofitting.   Upon digging further,  i found a D0ZB number on the switch.  Guessing if the car was originally optioned with intermittent,  the original switch would have been a C9.

Hey AJ, how's the build coming along? I'm still in a holding pattern until springtime.
