Intermittent wiper not working Options

[michaelmoo]

Ok I have the intermittent relay and a washer pump on my car. First ever thing is wired correctly and making good contact. Second, I know the order of the wiper switch: all the way down is intermittent, then off, then slow, then fast (well faster than slow…). Pulling the switch you get like 4 or 7 swipes and the pump comes on. That is how it is suppose to work.

Here is what I get: all the way down is nothing, then off, then slow, then fast (well faster than slow…). Pulling the switch I get the 4 or 7 swipes and the pump comes on.

Thoughts? If the relay was bad would the 4 or 7 swipes still happen with the pump?

And any dealer could install one for a buyer/owner by adding the relay under the front lid/cowl & snapping off the retent tab to allow the switch to move full down. This means that all late (column wiper switch) 914s were pre-set-up for intermittent wipers (i.e.: all column switches were set up for it), but I don't know about the early dash switches.

Michael - try Jeff Bowslby for other possibilities if the above doesn't work, since he makes a repro relay/wiring set-up like the factory OE one for folks like us to add. He may have some other thoughts on what's up with yours.
