anyone notice the wiper intervals are long? if i use the "slow" one, it takes forever before the next wipe. if i use the next one, it is too fast for light rain/drizzle. is there a way to adjust the intervals?

on the stalk there is a "swivel" when your on the low setting you can adjust it manually

it also adjusts to the speed of your car..... intervals are shorter at highway speed rather than at a stop light.

I had a civic at work where the variable **** for the intermittent time didnt work...no matter what setting you put it at, it went the same speed.
EVERYTHING tested fine, it drove me nuts for almost an hour.
the HDS could control everything normally.
running through all the FSM tests showed no problems.
finally pulled the switch out and looked at the pins...the pin that went to the ground side of the variable **** was bent over and not connected to the wire harness new switch solved the problem.

didnt even remember posting this.

08 civics dont have the "swivel" option. at least i didnt see it. my 97 civic had "swivel" wiper control which i like since i can leave it on low and use the manual wipe. 08 is either pushing it up for manual wipe, and 2 or 3 more speeds below the off position. so if i set it to the 2nd speed after off position and need a quick manual wipe, i need to go thru 2 positions to get to manual, and then have to adjust back. annoying...

Yes '08s do have it. You've had the car this long and still haven't figured out the windshield wipers? Have you seen the inside of the glovebox? Man when you finally figure out the brainteaser that is "opening the glovebox", it will be the greatest day of your life.

Lol Ive had my 08 for maybe a month and its been rainging down here in south Texas, but i also just noticed on how to set the speed on the wipers using the swivel its pretty cool I guess.

Good to know once the rain starts picking up here.
