help out with the variable speed wiper mod

[Quashish]

so today i got this


from a CD5 i think. it was pretty mangled. but anyway the control box is an A12 on the DIY here it talk about using the A11. and its really hard for me to understand. can anyone help out and explain this in simpler terms?

[sonikaccord]

Since you have the A11, you have to reroute your wiper connections through the A11 rather than the stock ICU. I just skimmed the DIY.

What specifically do you need help doing?

[Quashish]

No I have the A12

ok so today i just got an A11 ICU. what i dont understand is the part about the relay where is that from?

"After I got pm from fifedog229 who was having some issues with doing mod with a different version of the blue box, a better solution has been found..The 95 Accord v6 lx/ex 38600-SV7-A11 icu differs slightly from 96-97 Accord 38600-SV7-A12 I used. Luckily I pulled an extra box the last time I was at the junkyard and it happened to be an a11. After comparing and testing, the A11 has the corner light circuitry built in like the cb7. This allows the A11 to replace the accord icu and not have to piggyback 2 icus.

Tha A11 icu has the lights on buzzer built in so there no output to the external one. The internal light buzzer works when the icu is plugged in. The pin 3 orange output wire can be left in place since there is nothing connected on the board.

The A11 also has seat belt buzzer built in but is not needed for 90-91 since the auto seat belt module already does this. I don't have a 92-93 wiring diagram to see if the red/blu wire is present for the seat belt or if it needs to be run.

The key in buzzer has to be rewired. The cb7 has a 12v switched buzzer but the newer cars are ground switched. I wired up a relay inside the module to change it. I moved the the blu/wht key wire to the unused slot above it and soldered to the terminal to use as input to relay. I ran the relay output to the original key terminal and soldered it.

Add the variable wires to pin 6,7 and you are done. A whole lot easier than two icus"

The relay simply converts 12v from key in switch to ground so the buzzer works. I installed the relay internally for cleaner install. It can be wired up outside.

If you don't want a key in buzzer than just remove the wire from the harness.

So did you just get a relay from auto zone? Then the wires are all under the dash going into the cb7 icu? Did you clip the pins you soldered them onto? Because they angle down and go into the chip.

[lucifer1]

Autozone has standard relays that will not fit eternally. Maybe they have a micro relay that will probably still too big. The relay I used comes from an electronics store.

No I did not cut the pins. The one used for input does connect to the board and the output needs to stay connected to work.

[Quashish]

so without the relay the only thing that would be different is that there would be no dinging that lets you know when the key is still in when the engine is off but the door is open?

or would it still not ding if your have your lights on engine off door open and key is out of ignition?

do you know off hand which color wire that is? i know chiltons has wire diagrams but its confusing.

because if i can just un plug that wire and replace stock tcu with the a11 and variable speed work then thats fine with me.
