I have a 2016 maxima, when I try to put on my intermittent wipers they do not work, when I "dial in" the **** they do
one sweep, and that's all. any answers? Thanks.

 

Are they rain sensitive and is it raining? Rain sensitive wipers will not wipe if it is not raining.

 

Thanks for reply, there is a "grid work pattern" on my upper windshield, is this rain sensitive indication?, it was lightly raining
when I tried it on intermittent setting, it would cycle once and then stop.

 

Does your wiper stalk look like this, if so it is automatic.

 

Yes, it looks the same.

 

Then what you describe in the OP is the "Auto" mode. The wipers will come on when it rains, intermittently, and you can change the frequency by turning the dial. If you want them to wipe continuously, even when not raining, push the stalk down one more step, for low continuous frequency. For high continuous frequency push the stalk down one more step.

 

Thank you for the info.
