Yep, I got it all working. Stock washer pump and reservoir attached to the battery cover, I'll post a video of it in action tomorrow, and a montage of "sprayings" will come soon as I introduce my new addition to my friends.

So you got it to work. Lets ee pictures, Im curious hwo you did it. Stock washer reservoir?

[bsop]

I'd worry about some dumbass retaliating with a bat or something after getting sprayed. What's worse, someone leaning on your car or putting a bunch of dents in it in a fit of rage?

Who carries a bat around?

And yeah, highway tailgaters could be a possibility, beats hosing them with my front windshield washers in a mist.

Ultimately It'll serve as a good prank for people I know... Im home now so no more parties to worry about.

And I got it working beautifully. Videos to come of girls getting sprayed. Bimmer-themed wet T-shirt party anyone?

this is the dumbest idea ever.

Use oil instead. Be all james bond about it.

I could see doing that for people tailgaiting on the highway...

Best to be used with friends then I suppose.

A guy I knew did something like that. Victim claimed he was sprayed with acid. Cops took it seriously. Turned out to be not so funny.

May not even be necessary, the pump has some power to it when i tested it straight off the car battery. And just think about the added tailgater deterring benefits....

It will be easy to wire up a 12v switch inside the car to toggle it on and off. Wireless is a puzzle for me- little experience.

I know I need a transmitter, receiver, and a 12v switch which the transmitter can actually trigger. Keyless entry is probably the best bet for this as far as I can tell, , Garage door openers seem to all use 120v?

I'm pretty unfamiliar with RC controls. I'm thinking I'll need to have the positive wire leading from the battery terminal, to the receiver, to the switch. The switch then leads to the positive end of the washer pump. Negative gets grounded.

Now, with this set up, the receiver has the power it needs to receive the signal from the transmitter, which would in turn trigger the switch to complete the circuit, activating the washer pump. when the signal ceases from the transmitter, the switch deactivates, and the pump stops.

Now for the real question- Will that work? Or am I completely off base here...?

I'm starting to think a 12v dog shock collar very well could be the best solution to this, possibly even the simplest as well. No need to even wire it to the car's harness.

I was thinking of this the other day!

I thought about having a compressed air tank with 100 psi, and running it to the washer nozzles, but of course drilling the nozzles out a a sixteenth of an inch or so.

Then major awesome

Does anyone know about the properties of garage door openers? I.e. When the button is pushed, does it send a constant signal for a minimum period of time, or just a burst to trigger the mechanism in the garage?

[bernzpeed]

i seriously want to see videos of this happening.

this is the dumbest idea ever, but strangely intriguing. you will be fine running an extra pump, the euro washers run 3 pumps off the main harness that only runs 1 for US cars.
