THE WIPER DELAY DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. WHEN THE CONTINUOUS NORMAL OR FAST CYCLES ARE SELECTED, THE WIPER WORKS CORRECTLY. HOWEVER, WHEN ONE OF THE THREE DELAY WIPER CYCLES IS SELECTED, THE WIPER MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN ONE OF THE THREE DELAY WIPER CYCLES IS SELECTED THE WIPERS ONLY MAKE ONE COMPLETE CYCLE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU SELECT DELAY WIPER SPEED 1, 2, OR 3, THE WIPERS ONLY MAKE ONE PASS ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD AND THEN THEY GO TO THE HOME POSITION AND DON'T MOVE AGAIN UNLESS THE WIPER CONTROL SWITCH IS AGAIN MANIPULATED.
