Intermittent Wiper issue Options

[L-Jet914]

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a used OEM intermittent wiper relay harness and it was supplied with a VW relay PN: 111 955 531. I followed the instructions on Jeff Bowlsby's website that was a copy of Sir Andy's post regarding the relay. My 914 is a 74. All wiring has been verified for their correct locations. Now here is the issue I am having. When I went to test the wiper system after installing the harness, I put the wiper stalk to the position below position 0 which is supposed to be for the intermittent function. When put into the position below position 0 the wipers run on low speed all the time. Now is the a relay issue not being the correct part number as OEM? According to the owner's manual it should operate once every 10 seconds if I remember reading it correctly.

Here are a few pictures that might help:

This one circles the tab/tooth that others had referenced earlier in the thread. Note that the tab is on the turn signal switch:


This is a shot of my signal lever showing where the tab/tooth used to be (red rectangle):

IIRC, I cut it off using an X-acto knife, then sanded the area flush and smooth.

Here are a couple of pictures with the wiper lever in different positions corresponding to high, low, and intermittent wiper speeds...

High speed:


Low speed:


Intermittent:


In that last pic you can see how the tab must be removed to allow the lever to move to the intermittent position.

NOTE: I forgot to take a pic of the lever in "Off." Switch positions in order from top to bottom are "high," "low," "off," and "intermittent."

Sorry for the dust--I haven't done my spring cleaning yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hope this helps!

Sorry for the late reply but thank you very much for the detailed photos. I will use these to do my modification.
