The worlds most usuful switch if you press it at night while you've got the lights on you'll see it turns off the instrument lights

Off course this presumes I'm talking about the right nob/switch, the other one next to the column adjuster does indeed alter the intimitant wiper sweep time

There is a knob there that adjusts the delay on the intermitant wipers.

Sounds like the intermitent wipe adjuster to me.

You can try it, but if it is like mine the difference it makes is almost indistinguishable .

On mine the delay is 7 or 8 seconds (too slow) up to about 20-odd seconds (way too slow).

The Corrado has the best system I've come across. You select 'intermittent' momentarily and then 'off'. A timer starts. You select 'intermittent' again and it remembers the elapsed time and repeats indefinitely. Range is something like 1 second to 30 seconds.

DO NOT TOUCH IT

It's for the ejector seat

Or the intermittent wiper speed, just make sure you try it without a passenger
