The wiper is a two speed one.
To get the itermitent wipres you need botha new switch and the module.
These are very hard to find as they are not made anymore.
I discovered that the switch is very similair to that on a 71-73 Mustang
(the motor also looks the same) I bought an after market intermitnet wiper
switch for the Mustang and got it to work after swapping two wires around.
Riht now I do not recall whihc two.These however are no longer made as the
quality cntril was bad. I have had 2 fail in my Mustang. the one in the
Bricklin has worked OK since I put it in.
I did read that some one has made a switch for the Mustang (which could
also I am guesssing works on the Bricklin) that is not a true intermitent
one but rather has may more speeds, the slwo and fast aas well ass a 3 5
and 10 second delay. Bumping the switch clockwise will cycle through the
speedds while bumping it anti-clckwise will turn them off.
