its all in the wrist...


goes like this, you're driving and rain hits windscreen, you pull
down on wiper stalk to get intermittent setting, default with 99 is
about 10 - 15 sec interval.

if you want shorter, you flip wiper stalk back up to off position,
then when rain spots too much for you, stalk is put down on
intermittent again. the smart relay has stored that time interval
between off then on again and then will repeat that interval for as
long as stalk down in intermittent position.

I knew mark would have the answer, but I still don't understand how
you actually change the program?  Isn't there some sort of switch,
etc. to change the duration between wipes in addition to the 99 relay?
