Default Interiment wiper problem.

I looked and looked for info for Interment wiper not working and couldn't find any. I just got my Da yesterday and only thing wrong is the Interment part does not work. Low and High works just fine and rear wiper works great as well. Could this be switch problem or something else like wiper modular on the fuse box?

Might be the switch itself. I made an implant to a civic switch to make a rear wiper work in my Teg, so I had to brake it apart. There is a little plastic thing that switches from one position to another. Something might be wrong with it being broken or not aligned properly. You can tell if when you put it in Interment mode and it works Slow, and then Fast in Slow mode - the positioning is wrong.
Sorry for my Eng and I'm not that of a professional, but this is what I think. Hope it will help

If not the switch, it might be the ICU. Please read the following post

This is weird. I swapped a known good wiper switch on this morning. I had a spare one laying around and it was from a ef civic hatchh, so I unscrewed the wiper unit off from the civic base and screw it on the integra base. Wire plugs right into it, I thought it be okay, until I turn on the car and hit the int position, it acts like it's on low, then I move it over to low, same thing, then I put it on high, it speeds up. I was wondering if the civic and integra wiper internals are different? Or are they both wired different?

I figured to see if it worked or not, it worked but acts like LOW position. lol. I'll get a new switch and ICU just in case.

They are same for civic and integra, except there is no rear wipers on civics.
You need to position it right when you swap it. Play with it, mine acted the same at the first time.

4drmafia... are you driving my car? lol. i have the same exact issues with mine. my intermitant works, well, intermittingly. some times it works, then its slow like slow speed, next time, it won't work at all. my rear defroster works, but then it doesn't. if i hold the button in, the light stays on, sometimes. its retarded. i'm definately gonna check out the icu theory.

Update: I haven't update it in a while. The theory is now solved, it was an ICU. I'm on my 3rd one and hoping it be my last one. Pop that 3rd ICU in and it works and rear def works too.
