DIY wiper system

I'm making a hi/low wiper system with parking feature. Can anyone who knows about wiring/electronics verify I'm not shorting out anything or have any issues with this system that I dont see? I've tested it with a wiper motor and everything functions as it should. Not seeing any shorting or smoke or anything burning up.

it's my first time doing something like this and making a custom circuit/system with relays and different functions beyond a simple on off.
(I will have a fuse in the circuit)
p1 stands for parking wire green and p2 is parking wire blue (constant 12 volts)

Due to the fact everything functions as it should, that is consistent with there are no shorts or opens.

Make sure any new fuse locations you install are as close to the battery as possible.

If you don’t already have them, you can use accessory battery terminals.

This way your new wires can be mounted to the new terminals and keep a clean appearance under the hood.

It’s always fun when people say “You didn’t make/install that — that’s factory.”

Those will be among the biggest compliments people will pay you.


Happy Racing !

Re: DIY wiper system

Appreciate the response! I definitely will make this as clean as possible when I install and will post some pics.

Might sound cheesy, but im beyond proud of myself. I literally have the smallest electrical knowledge so being able to make something and have it installed where it looks clean and near factory is impressive for me lmao
