Hey! T.G.I.F. I would like to get my delay wipers working and was hoping for a little help. The hi-lo works fine but only cycles on low(slow) while in delay mode.

I'm pretty sure that's the way all pulse/delay/intermittent windshield wipers are designed to work. Think about it - why would the wipers make a fast sweep when "intermittent" is selected?

Wiper blades work much more efficiently in the low speed mode.

Pulse mode activates the wipers for only one sweep. It then waits for a specified amount of time before making another sweep.

If you are only trying to clear the windshield of a light coating of rain (i.e. in the pulse mode), it would not make sense to run the motor/blades in fast speed for that single sweep.

You need to make a trouble shooting topic on here somewhere.

Nah, job security. LOL

If it weren't for Retro, I would not have that stuff to post.
