pushing it up and down is for making quick changes in the speed of the wipers kinda like "slow, fast, very fast" or something like that.

the **** actually has the same function except it has more "levels of speed" for the wipers.

its called the variable intermittent wiper control, it controls the timing on the wipers when set to the intermittent setting, some max's just have the intermittent wipers

I wouldn't knock the guy. My two prior cars to the max didn't have intermittent wipers (my integra actually had a grand total of 2 speeds). But I knew what intermittent wipers were on other cars. Some people might not though.

when u push the stalk down 1 level, the thing u're asking about allows u to control the speed of the wipers, jus turn the ****...but if u push the stalk to other levels then the **** wont control the speed any more.

turn the **** while the wipers r on level 1.

correct me if i'm wrong guys.

91 LS (sig URL has pics). It had 3 diff lever positions, but the speeds were slow, fast, and the-same-fast-as-the-other-fast (probably fixable, but...)
