Hi. I have a 1995 Honda Civic Hatchback VX. The intermittent windshield wipers do not work. There is a setting for "INT" on the switch. When I go there it doesn't work but the LOW and HIGH windshield settings work. Upon further investigation I saw somewhere it stated briefly that the VX and CX models don't have an intermittent setting. I thought that this could be why mine don't work however thought it odd that there was still a setting for it on the switch. Perhaps it's just a standard switch for all models. Does anyone know if the VX model (1995) does forsure infact not have the intermittent windshield wiper function?

Check whether there are wires at pins A8 (Yel/Blu) and A10 (Blu/Grn) of the ICU.

I have IWs and they occasionally decide to work. So, it may just be getting old and failing like mine.

If you have those wires Ron posted, then try another ICU.

Is yours a VX?

I have an Si, but same difference.

I am thinking that the VX and CX don't come with the intermittent function. I found this though if anyone is looking to add the intermittent function...

I am trying to figure out... the integrated control unit is simply the box on the back that is part of the fuse box panel right?

ICU's themselves I see running upwards of $75 while I am finding entire fuse box panels for $20...

A complete fuse box panel would include the entire ICU right?

I'm guessing the wiper combo switch was replaced. Go to junkyard, get an ICU from any 92-95 Civic that isn't a CX or VX. Should be about $10. But, before you do, read my DIY on adding a lights-on indicator, which uses an ICU from an Integra. Alternatively, you can use any 96-00 Civic ICU. Anyway, link in sig.

The ICU is part of the fuse box panel right? So if I got a complete fuse box panel (this is mainly all I am finding on ebay hard to find solely ICU's) that would include the entire ICU right?

Yes, but it's removable. Check that the seller didn't remove it, and if the photos show it, ask if you get everything included exactly as in photos.

Great thanks

It doesn't matter that it came from one with an automatic transmission right?

Thanks a lot for the link to the DIY lights-on indicator. I will definitely do that. Can't tell you how many times I left my lights on on my previous car, 94 civic coupe!
