So... I think we can all agree that the rear wiper doesn't need to be constant, right? I'm thinking it should be on a timer to that it wipes every 10-20 seconds... if that. So, I was looking at the wiring diagram for the rear wiper and it is pretty simple. The switch just grounds it to make it run. There's a 15 amp fuse that feeds it. I'm betting there's an easy way to put a timer relay of some sort inline with it. Any thoughts?

A google search turned up numerous intermittent wiper kits for $10-$20. The one I'm looking at right now has 3 to 30 second delay.
