Re: 06 Sonata intermittent wiper delay
If the new sonata is set up like my 03 Santa Fe the delay time is
related to what speed the transmission is moving. Once you hit third
gear the shortest delay pretty much becomes a continuous wipe. Below
3rd gear or at a stop there is a brief pause when on the shortest
delay.
The assumption is that there will be more mist as you go faster. It is
supposed to work like those car stereos in other makes that raise or
lower the volume with the car's speed.
Check it out... Is the new Sonata set up the same way?

Yes, I will check it out next time I drive the car. I was going 55 or
higher when I did the first check so that may explain the short delays.
However, 9 seconds is still too short for the longest delay setting,
even at cruise speed.

Time for me to eat crow! timed the intermittent wipers with a "thousand"
count last night......8 for longest notch, 4 for the next, 1 for the third,
....2 more notchs with no perceivable delay from "on"........I did this at
modest hi-way speeds (55-65 mph)......don't mind the 1st 3 settings at
all-seem good to me, but the useless last two are a bit odd.

That sounds pretty much like my timing, although I did use my trusty
Timex rather than counting. :-)
I think only my last notch was "useless", but I did think once that both
of the last notches gave continuous operation as you say. However, I
tried it on the way home and couldn't replicate what I thought I saw on
the way into work, so I'll need to check again to be sure.

Re: 06 Sonata intermittent wiper delay
If the 2006 Sonata intermittent wipers are like the prior Sonatas, I
believe there's a two- or three-tier timing system based on vehicle speed.
I believe once you reach a predetermined speed, the fastest setting
becomes constant operation, and when you reach the next predetermined
speed, the fastest two settings become constant operation.
I actually had to replace the time and alarm control unit (basically a
"dumb" body control module) in a 2003 Sonata because the customer noticed
it wasn't changing speed as it was intended. I don't think technical
assistance was even able to provide me with the exact details of how the
delay changed other than that there were tiers as described above.
Sounds to me like they may be operating normally. Check 'em again when
not moving and compare with the specs.

Thanks, will do.
I honestly can't understand the logic of having the fastest speed or,
worse yet, two speeds be continuous operation when you already have a
continuous operation level position. That is just nuts. What was
Hyundai thinking when they designed these wipers?
