Rear wiper, add in a no delay option.

OK, the title says most of it. I love how the rear wiper does the delayed wiping. It is what I want 80% of the time. My dads odyessy had it no delay, which had its uses, but was't as nice for the only option. But I was wondering if anyone knew a relatively easy way to also have the option for my rear wiper to run it no delay, for heavy rains and such.

The switch has the off, on (delayed), and the spray. The spray seeting is a momentary switch for the spray, but it runs no delay for a few wipes when you use it, so i figured it might not be too bad to do what i want.

I am no electrical engineer, so I am not sure how it controls everything or I would poke around. I don't mind having a separate switch for the full time if needed.

Any help would be appreciated. I have a FSM and will browse through it, but it is pretty intense reading, and it took me a long time to figure out my lighting problem when I was doing that. So someone with more experience helping would be awesome!

BTW, this clearly is nothing major, just would be a treat to have.

I haven't investigated the wiring but I had an interesting thought. I might try to connect the rear wiper trigger to the front wiper trigger. That way when the front wipers are set on intermittent the rear follows along but when the front wiper is set on slow or fast the rear wiper is on constant. I would use an additional double throw switch to return control to the rear dash switch.

Interesting thought, ill have to look into it. I haven't got around to looking at the FSM yet, Got tied up all day working on my friends POS trailer he bought for next to nothing for his little sailboat. Spent all day sanding, prepping, painting, cutting, bolting, etc... going back tomorrow to finish up. Its really weird, it has a coil spring suspension on a little trailer for a 13' boat. double coils on each side, little trac bar, shocks, and really long control arms mounted halfway up the tongue (yeah a trailer with long arms!). Neatest little thing I have ever seen.
