How to Keep the Wiper Blades Moving Continuously?

If you want the wiper blades to keep moving continuously, adjust the button to INT, which enables automatic intermittent operation. If the rain is heavy, you can set the wiper to HI gear for automatic high-speed operation, which is also automatic. If the rain is light, you can set the wiper to LO gear for automatic low-speed operation, which is also automatic.

I used to think about this when driving my own car. To keep the wipers swinging continuously, the key lies in the wiper switch settings. Most cars have a control lever on the right side of the steering wheel—just turn it to the 'low-speed' or 'high-speed' position. When you select the 'low-speed' setting, the wipers will swipe at a steady pace, which is especially useful in heavy rain. Avoid choosing the 'intermittent' or 'auto' modes, as those will cause the wipers to stop and start. Before operating, check if the wiper blades are clean and not worn out, otherwise, the wiping effect will be poor. If you encounter issues like an unresponsive switch, it might be due to poor relay contact, though that’s rare. Regular maintenance and circuit checks ensure smooth operation. Good visibility in the rain is crucial for safe driving, so don’t take it lightly. Simply put, just turn the switch, and you’ll easily maintain a clear view.

I've worked on many cars and often see beginners asking similar questions. To keep the wipers continuously moving, it's quite simple: use the steering column stalk to switch to the 'LO' or 'HI' marked positions. LO is for low-speed continuous operation, while HI is for high-speed continuous operation, unlike the intermittent mode which pauses periodically. Differences between car models are minor, so you can refer to the manual for adjustments. If the wipers don't move continuously, first check if the fuse is blown; although rare, wiper motor failure requires professional diagnosis. Don't overlook daily maintenance like cleaning the wiper arm joints to prevent sticking. During rainy drives, continuous wiper operation ensures road visibility and reduces accident risks. Regular safety checks should always come first.

When driving my daily commuter car, keeping the wipers moving continuously is simple: just turn the stalk on the steering column to a non-intermittent setting. For example, pushing it all the way to the 1st position for low-speed continuous wiping or the 2nd position for high-speed continuous wiping will work. Avoid the auto mode as it may stop. Button layouts vary slightly between different car models, but the principle remains the same. Using this setting in rainy weather ensures effective wiping, clear visibility, and accident prevention. Make sure the washer fluid is full and the blades are new; otherwise, poor wiping may compromise safety. The operation is quick to learn and not complicated.
