[Shop-talk] wiper intermittent either too fast or too slow jeep tj

[PJ McGarvey]

Eric and I talked off list, I was more generally saying that these column switches are finicky. I had a headlight switch problem which is the left side stalk, Eric's is the wiper stalk on the right side, so a different switch.

Eric,
All the wiring diagrams I see don’t list a year or don’t seem to match what you have, they seem to show a variable control for infinite delay settings. If you can point me to a diagram that matches your car I’d be happy to give you a reading as to whether anything can be done & how to troubleshoot it.

If P J will let us know if his behaves the same it will be a great help.

Peace,
Pat

I have a 2003 Jeep TJ.  Wipers work 100% EXCEPT that the intermittent feature seems a little weird.

It works as it is supposed to, however there is a gap with the speed.  There are about 5 clicks in the intermittent adjustment.

1 is really slow
2 is slightly faster, but not much.
3 is basically constant wiping
4 & 5 are just faster constant modes

Overall 2 is WAY too slow and 3 is too fast.  I need something in between.

Seems that most searching on this for make/model is them not working at all and not the problem I'm having.

Anyone have an ideas what to check?

TIA
