Just trying to confirm the info in this NASIOC thread.

Don't bother reading the following quote if you don't feel like it.. I'm just posting it for reference.

I just need to know if 1991 wagons actually had an intermittent rear wiper.

On "old skool" wagons, it's also possible to have a [non-adjustable] intermittent rear wiper, but absolutely not cost effective with brand new parts: well over $200. The switch part number is 83113AA530 and the relay in the back should be replaced with intermittent module 86571AA030. On that switch, the knob for rear wiper has an additional detent labelled "INT", otherwise it's the same. It's not fully plug-and-play: the 9-pin connector is still the same but on wagons w/o intermittent rear wiper there's no extra wire for intermittent unit in the on-board harness, that is only 8 pins are utilized.
In the factory catalog, the above parts are listed for one model year only, 1991, of Legacy wagon. Does anyone in fact own one with such an option?

All the best,

That's a negative on the intermittent rear wiper on my 90 legacy L AWD 4EAT.

No on my 94 TW -- wish it was though.

I think the intermittant was part of the stalk, not the relay module in the back.

I was chatting about this with Steve at PIA. We seem to think that that stalks are pretty much the same, but I would love someone to be the guinea pig. So, if anyone is out at a junkyard, and you find an intermittant rear stalk from a legacy/forester/impreza and you can get it for cheap, do so and get back to us.

I'm almost 100% sure if you turn both wipers on and put the stick on intermittent it only effects the front and the rear still goes back and fourth without hesitating. I'll check when I wake up. If I remember....

There are stalks for the newer cars that have intermittant for the rear also.

My 2nd Gen. 95 doesn't have an intermittent rear wiper either. I believe they finally added that luxury in 98 or 99.

my 92 just goes and goes all day. Just on/off on the stalk for it or mist.
