• MK1 -No intermittent wiper, motor or the switch? by AudiVWguy on 25 Nov, 2008 16:54
• I've put up with this for a while, but thought now was the time to have a go at it. Any suggestions on where to start first? Anybody  BTDT ?
  Thanks,

• Could it be your relay?

• MK1s don't come with intermittent. You need to add it in. If you look at your fuse panel you should see a large metal jumper piece connecting 2 sockets. Remove this and put in a wiper relay from a mk2 and you should have intermittent.

• You're good Tyler....very very good.   :wink:
  
  Here's my obscure "blast from the past" Rabbit memory... there may also be a plastic wedge on the wiper control stalk that's preventing it from going down into the "intermittent" position.

• Ohh I think you are correct as well. Good catch

• Nah... just tripped me up once working on my shiny red 1979 Rabbit back in the day.  Ah... the memories...  :cry:

• I had that problem for a while untill I got a used relay, then intermittent and high/low worked. But the auto stop only works sometimes :roll: every now and then I have to pop the relay out and smack it on something.
