dutchkev Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) you mean like the focus? i think you can mod the wipers to spray into the blades but im unsure of the wash and wipe - unless the focus one can be identified and modded to fit Edited February 11, 2010 by dutchkev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickydicky Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 yeah my focus was the same - dont think i had an escort that ever did that I'm 99% sure my van did - and I think the later escorts did - W reg onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Should be a piece of pee if you can get the relay and wiring diagram from a car that did feature wash and wipe..Although the relay may not fit in your fusebox so you'll have to fit it elsewhere and attatch the cables to the terminals with spade connectors or solder..

Your van did, as far as I know all the later ones do (the ones with digi clocks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickydicky Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Is it sure to be a relay? Or could it be with the ECU or something, even a fuse maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchkev Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 would think there would be a switch somwhere that activates the wipers when the button is pressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I'd guess so...will have to find someone with a late escort to see if the wipers stay on for longer after you stop pressing the wash button? john?
