Are you sure your wiper switch replacement came from a van with intermittent
wipers? I know at least here in Europe, the intermittent wipers were never
standard equipment on all models. It was option on cheap Transporters in
late 80s, option on most models in early 80s.

tip: if you want adjustable intermittent wipers, just get the wiper relay
from a Jetta III, and plug it in, Voila! Works great!!
