Windshield Wipers

[Viper5]

I got a 2000 S and my windshield wipers are not working properly. The two main modes are fine but when I switch to the custom mode (with the time interval setting) the wipers will go up, down, and then instead of freezing at the bottom of the windshield, it comes back up a few inches and then freezes. And will continue to do this until I either turn them off or switch back to either of the constant modes. What part do I need replacing?

Looks like nobody has responded yet... but I did want to add something. When I go to either the low or high setting (not the intermittent), and then go to turn it off, it will freeze at wherever I turned it off at instead of coming back down.

I think I either need a relay or the combo switch. To me it is sounding more like the relay which is nice because it is much cheaper $70 than the combo switch $285. I just want to know what somebody else thinks.

if it was an american car i would say its the park/pause switch in the wipermotor module

[Viper5]

You mean as in the wiper motor park switch? But would that also cause the problem with the intermittent setting too?

on american cars it can....who know with the cars built by the evil elves of the black forrest

So what is the equivalent on the boxster?

Curious if Viper5's problem was the relay or not - my car has started exhibiting the exact same problem: Intermittent only wipes once, and the wipers stop mid sweep when exiting continuous mode.
