Hello. The intermittent wiper function on my 2018 430ix vert doesn’t work. Wipers work on regular and high, but when put on intermittent they swipe once and that’s it. Still under warranty but just checking to see if I’m missing some setting or something before visiting the dealer. Thoughts, etc,?

I could be wrong, but my understanding was that the first position was the rain sensing position and the green LED turns on. Advancing the wheel in the stalk works the intermittent wipers, increasing their speed.
At least that is how my 430 works.

O.K. I was incorrect. The green LED stays on when the stalk is in the first position and the thumbwheel is turned. I have found that, in practice, this works just like variable speed intermittent wipers do though. One moderate rainstorm, I was amazed how often the wipers wiped when in rain sensing mode.
The sensor is in the rear view mirror .
Any tinting or obstruction , ezPass parking stuff etc that blocks the ‘clown nose’ may interfere with the wiper operation . I’d also clean the sensor with a soft rag and streak free cleaner ( spray on rag then wipe )

There are no intermittent wipers.
When the stalk is in the AUTO position on newer models, or you push the button to turn on AUTO, the wipers swipe based on the rain sensitivity. Adjusting the wheel will speed up or slow down the AUTO function sensitivity--all the way up to fast.

The Clown Nose is NOT the rain sensor. The rain sensor is behind the rear view mirror, flush with the windshield (there's a black area with a little window in the middle of it flush with the glass). You can't interfere with the rain sensor inside of the windshield.
