Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Recently found my 996. Car didn't come with an owner's manual and I can't figure out how the intermittent wipers are supposed to come on. I tried searching, but could only find threads on troubleshooting a non-working system. Car is a '99. Wiper stalk seems to only have 4 positions: fast continuous, slow continuous, off, and spray (in order from top to bottom). I would assume that the off position doubles as the intermittent, except the rheostat **** doesn't seem to have a detent on either end. Oh, and here's the obligatory pic. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

lever down then spin the dial to adjust speed. Even the fastest speed still has a long pause.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! I had initially mistaken the fluid spray for the bottom position. I see now that it actually isn't.

POST 4Original post

It can be confusing when it's not in its natural state of broken. Eventually, you will kick the relay loose and it'll stop working.

POST 5Original post

BTW that's a great looking unmolested car. Original pumpkins t'boot.

POST 6Original post

Nice looking C2 '99. How many miles and which options do you have?

POST 7Original post

probably best to buy an owners manual or download a PDF. They can be quite helpful.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
