Fluted rotary wiper knob - park facility

That is correct. There is no circuitry required on the switch. All it needs is a swith that will provide an On-On-On facility. The first On position is really the Off position, but it provides an alternative live feed to the wiper moter, which is broken automatically at the motor by a cam when it reaches a pre-defined position.

My Kirkham was supplied without a park facility on the wipers and I've since rewired to to self-park. There was no additional circuitry required for the switch.

A Rover P6 Wiper switch has the same turn-on design as the original Cobra switch, two speed function, a push function for washers and in some cases a intermittent position. I bought some via ebaymotors.co.uk.

They are availlable from time to time...

For the fluted knobs i bought blank knobs from the UK and gave them away for engraving. See here:

Hi Westcott,
Ive got myself a P6 wiper switch and wondered if you could help with the wiring. Ive put a multimeter across the terminals and come up with the following...

switching in a clockwise direction
POSITION FUNCTION TERMINALS
1 Intermittent ??? 3 + 5
2 OFF 4 + 5 + 6
3 SLOW 1 + 3 + 4
4 FAST 2 + 3

Would this work like this???
TERMINAL FUNCTION
1 SLOW
2 FAST
3 LIVE
4 EARTH
5 DELAY
6 PARK

I doubt my terminal interpretation is correct as I've sen other switches that have some pins always connected. Any clue you could give would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Fraz
