it was you, hardy, who recommended me to join this site, after I found your details on a post on a U.S. site in the spring

Is that wiring diagram the same for a 2g? my intermittent doesn't work, and when you press the stalk down to wipe just once it only goes a little bit then stops (intermittent does the same thing) so i have to hold the stalk down for the whole cycle :( but the continuous speed works find :S

^^^ it's electrical issue but you don't need any wiring diagrams. It sounds like simple thing. when you get to wipers motor and gears you will find some kind of switch. It will be looks like a plastic gear with metal "pacman" on it This part is spinning with gears while wipers are working. Also you will find or should find another piece of metal touching "pacman". I bet one of them failed.


Basicaly when you turn on intermittent or just drag stalk down then special electronic unit or stalk itself is grounding wipers motor and wipers starts running. Then plastic gear starts spinning and metal pacman touching metal connector taking grounding over. Your wipers are running so long as pacman touching connector. This switch may look different betwen generations but it does the same job.
