Default Wiper delay, what makes this happen? (85)

I switched what I thought was a bad wiper switch to cure the non-delay. They are either off or on.

What controls the delay for the wipers?

I thought that was controlled by the board in the wiper motor. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, just going by memory!

Not sure on yours. The '96 is behind the radio with a bunch of other things, I think. Get a Haynes manual - it should tell you for sure.

Unplug your wiper motor, clean the connectors, then plug it back in. As a matter of fact, just for giggles turn your wiper to delay, key on of course, and push on the connector to the wiper motor, or jiggle it, and see if the wipers move. If so, bad or dirty connector, otherwise, bad motor.
