help with wipers
so i have a s5 jdm turbo swap and my window wipers were either cut out or excluded from being wired into my harness...so basically no wipers, and if im not mistaken, the jdm harness doesnt have wires in it for the wipers. so please correct me if im wrong.
the correct solution i guess would be to get a new harness and mod it for a s5 turbo swap and include the wiper cords.
but im just curious, would it be possible to wire it to a light dimmer switch and have it put on my dash or center console or something of the sort?

All cars have wipers, even more, all cars have end connector for the wiper switch. If yours is missing, it was hacked off. You will need a new harness that goes through the interior of the car, this is separate from your engine harness. I believe its part of the BODY harness.
Just get the new harness and swap it out. The easiest thing to do would be to find the end connector and solder it into your existing harness.

i have the end connector, its just hacked off with about a foot of extra slack, my entire harness was lengthened and wrapped in electrical tape because you need a longer harness for a jdm swap. ill ask my guy who did it and see what he can do for me

The wiper wires including the remnants of the plug at the wiper motor plug, are all in the EM harness of your original EM harness.
They must still have that old EM harness so just unwrap the old one and splice the remnandts to where then cut 'em in that old harness..........and install them in the plug with the ref des X-11. Seems you'd have to depin the wires from the original X-11 and pin them into the new EM harnesses X-11.
I assume the JDM has a comparable plug to X-11. It's the same plug that connects the wire from the water temperature sensor to the front harness and on to the gauges. So X-11 must exist.
Or put another way..........extract the wiper wires out of the old harness...........pin them into the new harness X-11 plug..................spice the remnants of the wiper elect plug to those new wires.........done.
And ONE of the wiper wires is in X-10 and is a black wire I believe. See jpg.
