Only answer this if you know off the top of your head not if you have to go check because I am soooo lazy, I haven't bothered to look for myself!
Why should you and not me?

Why should you and not me?One of the last things I checked before putting the car into hibernation was the wipers. They didn't work. At the time I was to annoyed to check into it, not even to pull the fuse. So, i'm doing some info gathering before I dig into it. Worst case is I forget the whole thing and slather some rainX on the windshield and be done with it!

IF your car has the intermittent wipers, the module should be on the fuse box(at least it is on the earlier cars). It actually takes the place of the wiper fuse....it's just a small circuit board. I have pics of one somewhere, but prolly won't be able to find them.
Otay...scratch that... The '80-'82 cars had a different set-up. Looks like it plugs into the harness at the bottom of the steering column.....not really sure, tho. Heck, it might be out under the hood, next to the wiper motor....

Are you suggesting, Sir, that I actually have to go out to the car and search for it myself! I thought you folks in Texas were helpful!
That pic does show what the darn thing is supposed to look like. I can't picture anything like that under the hood from memory so that's probably where it's located!
Thanks Joel

I know in the 80 the module is located in the rear compartment. On my 79, it is located under the center console. Hope that helps.

This is from Lectric Limited.
It is a new and improved design. Much better than the old design which is hard to find and very expensive. It is designed and made in the USA. I'll probably get one of these soon and keep it on hand when mine decides to quit.
Note: 1980-82 Corvette Intermittent Windshield Wiper Module
is located in the jack compartment, behind the passenger-side seat.

OK, that is one dumb location. I'll give it a shot. Hopefully it's just the fuse...no way in hell

Tanx Sarge!
I have the Service Manual here at home, but I was at werk at the time, and goin from my quickly fading memory....
btw...one of you fellers with the '80-'82 cars should take a pic of that thing and it's location, and post it, for future reference.

You want me to post a picture?? Picture in your Texan minds eye that space behind the passenger by the jack!!
Always happy to help out when I can. I remember seeing that module when I was putting in a new power antenna relay. It's weird that they put that back there. But then again, they did a few weird things on the '80-'82 vettes.
Hopefully it's just a fuse, but if that delay module quits you have no wipers. Here is a cheap alternative from lectric limited if you don't mind giving up the "delay" feature.
