Subject:Re: Install Details Please? "99" Intermittent Wiper Relay
Date:Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:18:41 -0400

to set the intervals you pull back on the wiper switch at the desired interval

I knew mark would have the answer, but I still don't understand how 
you actually change the program? Isn't there some sort of switch, 
etc. to change the duration between wipes in addition to the 99 relay?
