My wipers work just fine on med-high/high but when I turn them to any setting below, they fail to work. (except for each turn higher):braincramp:
Car has 45k no more "bumper to bumper" warranty. Any ideas? I haven't done a search on this, as I am not concerned as much since they DO essentially work.

I put the rain x blades on with the single blade. They work fine for me.

There is no medium/high setting. All the settings that are indicated as "bars" are sensitivity settings for your rain sensing wipers. The ones above the bars, the arrows, are the intermittent settings which are too fast for most rain.

It's the rain sensing wipers causing the issue. They seem to be a PITA sometime on mine too. Never on when you want them on and comes on when they aren't needed.

So can I change the blades out and make the lets say 1-6 settings available or are those settings strictly for the rain sensing wipers? I guess I didn't even realize they were "rain sensing" ...Find new stuff out every day about this car.

The blades are not electronics. They have no effect on any of the cars electronics.

On models without the rain sensing option the "bars" adjust the time interval for the intermittent settings.
