Rep Power: 0 upgrade wiper control?
Is it possible to upgrade the fixed intermittent wiper control on an 08 DX-G, to a variable intermittent wiper, like they have on the LX models? Thanks.

The DX and LX wiper switches are listed as the same part. I think the one you need is the EX switch. Physically they mount in the same place in the same way and they probably use the same connector. Whether they're wired the same is anybody's guess.

Looking at a wiring diagram, I believe the EX has one more wire than the others, for the "intermittent dwell time controller", and I'm sure the MICU will be different too.
Short answer: Not a swap.

It does require a single wire ran from the wiper switch connector to the MICU.
I used some terminal pins robbed from old computer cables for both the switch and micu connections.
Once in place it is a very cool setup, wipe interval shortens as speed increases. Single wipe when letting off the brake after stop.

Well isn't that cool! I just saw the EX fusebox assy is different from the DX.
Makes me wonder if I can make the same swap work on my 12 LX.
