My wiper switch is broken and droops. That would make it stuck on but I have put some packing foam wrapped in tape under it to make it functional.

The question is, My car was not equiped with intermitent on the switch. If I find a replacement that has intermitent on it, 1) will it work at all? and 2) will I gain the intermitent feature?

This is the second one that has broken on me in 5 years. I guess there is a fragile piece in there.

 

Not sure but maybe the relay controls the function. It's probably not the switch. I have an extra switch and probably the relay if you're interested. Intermittent from a 92.

 

not to steal your thread, but how do you fix the switch? i broke mine a while back and its really buggin me to use a rubber band to keep it up.

 

My rigged fix (that I've used for the last 9 months) is some foamy packing folded over to the right thickness and wrapped with clear packing tape. Stick that under the lever. It gives enough to use the wiper. The real fix involves removing the stearing wheel and making sure you don't blow your air bag. You'll need, If I remember right, straight screw driver, torx drivers 14mm socket, and I think that's it? Just regular tools. Unplug the busted switch and put in another from a junker.
