I never know whether the wipers will work when it is raining or not. Usually, if they start working when turned on, they will continue. Although, they may wipe continuously when set in the intermittent range; alternatively, they may work on intermittent even when set to continuous. I have never been able to set the wipers to "high", the fastest they will go is continuous, normal speed. Infrequently, the directional signals will not self cancel, or they will spontaneously being to flash in the opposite direction to the setting. Very strange.
