never knew that..   my '84 wolfsburg had intermittant wipers...  had
the #19 relay..    i pulled it and replaced it w/ the #99 and
everything works fine..    what number is on the non- intermittant
wiper relay?


Here's a fuzzy pic of the old relay & the plastic piece pulled from
the wiper switch-you can only see the end of the piece (left side)
until you pull it out.

Chris, take a look in Bentley -- vans that didn't have any
intermittent wiping facility have a plastic plug inside the wiper
switch that disables the intermittent position on the switch. You
have to get that plug out before you can physically move the lever
below "off."
