740 wagon intermittant wipers don't work! 700 1989

Why don't my intermittant wipers work, while the slow and fast speeds work fine? Is there a separate relay for the intermittant setting? Thanks! Dan

740 wagon intermittant wipers don't work! 700 1989

Dan,

My 87 745's intermittant wipers failed to work while the two constant speeds were just fine. I found wiggling the wiper control stalk in the intermittant position would occasional cause it to work. As it turned out the problem was in the control switch ... I found a new wagon wiper switch/stalk was very expensive (100 bucks or so) I located a good used piece at my local Pick and Pull for ten bucks and now I have intermittant and constant speed wipers. So I would suggest you make sure the control switch is working properly. Hope this is of some help.

You are absolutely correct! The stalk is the problem, and when I hold it in the right position, the wipers work intermittantly. So I'll just add that to the list of parts I need from the yard. Next project: getting heated seats to work before winter comes! Dan
