With the VW 99 relays in my vans you set the swipe interval in basically
2 steps.

1. move lever down for a single swipe and return it to off.
2. wait however many seconds until the windshield needs another swipe
and then put the lever down and leave it down. That is the new swipe
interval time.

Pulling toward the washer position isn't involved.

> I have a VW relay.  It is wired correctly.  It is activated by pulling the wiper stalk towards the driver.  The same action as one would use to activate the front windshield washer.  When pulled towards the driver, neither the wash nor the interval length work.  I have the relay you mention.  They all work the way described above, in a Vanagon, to my knowledge.  If not, please tell me how yours works.

>> Hello All.  Hope this gets out.A couple of years back, as I was travelling the PCH, I stopped into Van Cafe and purchased a relay that allowed me to change my interval wiper speed.  That is accomplished by quickly pulling up on the windshield squirter.  I loved it and used it often.  So often, in fact, that now my squirter, and with it the interval changer, are not working properly.  Those arms have been an area i would rather not mess with, but here goes.  Any e-mail diagnostics?  Have others experienced this and what is one to do?
