Default How do I turn on intermittent wipers?

Recently found my 996. Car didn't come with an owner's manual and I can't figure out how the intermittent wipers are supposed to come on. I tried searching, but could only find threads on troubleshooting a non-working system. Car is a '99. Wiper stalk seems to only have 4 positions: fast continuous, slow continuous, off, and spray (in order from top to bottom). I would assume that the off position doubles as the intermittent, except the rheostat **** doesn't seem to have a detent on either end.

Oh, and here's the obligatory pic.



Thanks in advance.

lever down

then spin the dial to adjust speed. Even the fastest speed still has a long pause.

Thanks! I had initially mistaken the fluid spray for the bottom position. I see now that it actually isn't.

It can be confusing when it's not in its natural state of broken. Eventually, you will kick the relay loose and it'll stop working.

Nice looking C2 '99. How many miles and which options do you have?

probably best to buy an owners manual or download a PDF. They can be quite helpful.
