Yep, it will fix that too. It's funny, because my wiper switch worked well enough for a day or two to allow the blades to seat properly. I still didn't have int. or high, but they did park themselves after I turned off the wipers

In case anyone stumbles across this and is looking for the same things as the original poster:



I have properly rebuilt FC wiper switches for sale, replacing the crummy factory relays with proper sealed units, ensuring longevity and enjoyability from your RX-7. I will guarantee them for life to operate correctly for you and be free from any defects caused by my remanufacturing.



Prices are $80/ea for no-rear-wiper models and convertibles or $95 for rear-wiper models, plus a $40 core charge on coupe models and a $60 core charge for convertible units. The core will be refunded to you via PayPal, cash, or whatever method you like after I receive your old switch. Please PM me or visit http://www.13betc.com for more information or to purchase. I look forward to helping everyone enjoy their RX-7 to the fullest, despite the factory defects!

That is incorrect. The core charge is $40, meaning you do not pay it if you're sending me your old switch, just like any core charge anywhere. You are buying the switch itself, parts, and the time that has been put in to rebuilding it correctly and testing it. If you know of someone who will provide any useful service for free, please post it up so that we may all make use of it. For the rest of us, time has worth.

I dunno the guy that used to do them on ebay wanted $125 with exchange. Certainly if you are capable of doing it yourself it seems expensive, but if you aren't capable of doing it yourself... well it's kinda like having your alternator replaced at a shop. I can do it in 30 mins, shop charges 1.5 hours labor...

Also another FYI



If you want BOTH the hi speed/int. speeds to work as well as the 'park' feature, you need to replace TWO relays. They are different as well. They were lie 8 dollars or something from digi-key. If you can solder, go for it. Its not that hard.

If you have a rear wiper, then you have 3 relays.....
