I stumbled on them while looking for Sprague wiper motor grease. They are 12 volt, but I have 12 volts available. I have one of those Pyle 24 to 12 volt converters also, so I might use for my source. They sure went quick.

I switched my wipers from air to electric motor with a motor for each wiper. The electronic controls keep them in synch, and have variable intermittant, low and high. Best conversion I've done getting rid of the air wipers. Virtually none of new trucks or buses use air wipers anymore. Good Luck, TomC

Why would one need intermittent air wipers?   I can run my Sprague HP-200s at any speed from soporific and lethargic to manic frenetic, and that easily takes care of different amounts of rain.   It just seems like an added layer of complexity on something simple.   Just wondering.

If regular wipers work for you, great. Some like the benefit of intermittents. Not much more complexity.

Well, sometimes the slowest air setting is too fast.  Intermittent works great for me.  I didn't know there was an intermittent available for air wipers.  I was #3 on the eBay buyer's list, 2 left last night after reading this post.  I bet the last two were bought by members of this bus board.

I think I got the last one.
I hope it works.

Mine are already intermittent--sometimes they work-- and sometimes they don't! ;D ;D
