Problem with winshield wiper delay mode

[ohhh my]

My knob seems to do nothing as well. Regardless of what I set it as, it seems the frequency of wipe does not change....

Do our cars have rain sensing wipers? is that what line in the middle of the windshield is for?

That's the radio antenna

I recently purchased a 2001 Boxster S that had no engine or transmission, and the interior was ruined by rain. I found another 2001 S that had been hit in the rear end, with only 27,000 actual miles on it. Unlike my original Boxster that had been an automatic, this one was a manual. I quite literally removed everything from the donor car. When I say everything, I mean everything... Once I had the car back together the only problem I was having was the wipers would not turn off when the ignition switch was turned on. From this web site, I saw where others were having a similar problem and it was suggested the wiper module might be bad. Since I had the one from my original car (the one I removed and replaced from the donor car) I just swapped them out, and to my relief, the wipers started working perfectly. I appreciate the info I received from this site and hope others will find this remedy will resolve their issue, as well.
