What are folks seeing for the delay times on your 2006 Sonata's
intermittent wipers? Mine seemed to have a pretty short delay compared
to my other vehicles, so today I timed them. My Chrysler minivan and
Chevy truck run 20+ seconds on max delay (the truck is probably closer
to 30 seconds, the van is 20). And even on min delay, they still take a
short pause between wipes, maybe a second or slightly less. You can
easily tell the difference between min delay on intermittent and
continuous on low speed.


My Sonata delay is only 9 seconds on max delay, and on min delay the
wipers run continuously with no discernible delay between wipes. I
can't tell the difference between min delay on the intermittent setting
and the continous wipe position. This doesn't seem right to me and is a
pain in light mist conditions as the wipers run way more often than
necessary. What are you other 06 Sonata owners seeing?

Here's the specs on the intermittent wipers:

Shortest period, T = 2.6 +/- 0.7 sec

Longest period, T = 18.0 +/- 1.0 sec

The manual makes the implication that the longest period can only be
achieved if the vehicle is not moving.

I had to get this out of the hard copy of the manual. I'm not sure why
it's not available online.

I was traveling between 55 and 60 when I timed it this morning, but the
shortest period wasn't even close to 2.6 seconds, or even 1.9 seconds.
It was zero, or at best a few milliseconds. Less than what I could
perceive as any delay at all. I'll time it setting still sometime.

My observation would be closer to HT's numbers, with the exceoption of the
shortest cycle...I'd guesss it to be one second at most.

Is this at a stop or while at highway speed?

I have to agree. That manual is either wrong, or our cars are "broken".
On the fastest setting there is no perceivable "stop" at all, but as you
said, it could be a few milliseconds at most.
