One of My parts catalogs shows a "pulse wiper override jumper". I
guess this does away with the delay function and You have low and
high speeds. No description in catalog as to what its function is. I
would mention the name of catalog but dont think We are supposed to.

The "pulse wiper override jumper " and where to get it is mentioned in
danno12345 s link. I reckon a paper clip would be cheaper.

I followed this and got my hi/low back. Now I'm trying to figure out how to fix the pulse controller. I have a couple of broken ones to experiment on.

My old relay only had high and low speed. I finally found a replacement to give me intermittent feature.

If you do the paperclip thing, just leave the whole control module off.

I was going to try and fix mine too, but since I have working wipers now, it jumped way to the bottom of my "gotta fix it" priority list.

Isn't that the truth. I've stopped writing "to do" lists because they were too depressing.
