Car Forum / Saab Cars / June 2005C900 Rear Windscreen Wiper
Hi all, My T8S does not have a rear windscreen wiper. I have the opportunity to purchase (at a very reasonable price) the entire rear assembly. How does it wire in? Does the wiper stalk have extra directions for the rear wiper, if fitted, or is there an "extra" button to actuate it? How is the rear squirt actuated? Inquiring minds need to know ...

More importantly, Paul, do you have the proper rear glass with the hole already in it? If not, this becomes a bit more complicated. >> Hi all, >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > More importantly, Paul, do you have the proper rear glass with the hole > already in it? If not, this becomes a bit more complicated. I do, yes, it's pre-cut for a wiper assembly. The actual wiring is not the problem - I need to know how the wiper and squirt are actuated. I would imagine the normal wiper stalk has a further direction (like push forward) for the rear wiper and maybe a push in for the squirter. Just need confirmation.

As for the rear wash, I assume it works on the same button but I've never got it to go, lazy as I am I can't be bothered to chase it down. I'm more concerned with getting full boost and getting my cruise control working. Hope this helps.

Tom - you're a beauty. Thanks a million. I just need to find a wiper switch now :) I take it it's got a wiper icon on it? Does the 9K use the same switch? There are more 9Ks in scrap yards than C900s IME. Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/ Does the 9K use the same > switch? There are more 9Ks in scrap yards than C900s IME. My 9K (1992 CS) has a rear wiper switch in the middle of the stalk and a "squirt" button on the end.. cheers > Does the 9K use the same >> switch?

That's how I thought it would be actuated, but seemingly, the C900 does it differently. Is it possible that a 9K stalk would fit a C900? Paul Var tog vägen vägen?

Ideal solution for you and me - we get C900's AND 9000's ;) >> Does the 9K use the same >>> switch? There are more 9Ks in scrap yards than C900s IME. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Var tog vägen vägen? > SAAB : Nothing on earth comes close You can also activate the rear wash wipe by patching in the lead that would go to the switch to the lead on the wash wipe stalk that activates the front screen wash, thus giving wash and wipe both front and rear with one pull of the stalk, but of course this means you can`t operate each seperately.
