Hi Steve,
I've not done this, but on my old '81 it was simple to retrofit
the stock intermittent system:
- Grab a VW intermittent relay from the junkyard.
- Remove the white locking pin from the wiper column switch. This
will allow it to move downwards into the intermittent position.
- Add an extra wire (missing from the loom) from the switch to
the relay.
- Done! 8-)
I can't remember where the extra wire went to, other than to somewhere
on the relay. Mr. Haynes should be able to tell you ...
