    2. Intermittent Operation Check
      1. Connect the voltmeter (+) terminal to terminal 7 (+1) of the connector, the voltmeter (-) terminals to terminal 2 (EW) of the connector.
      2. Connect the battery (+) to terminal 17 (+B) of the connector, the battery (-) to terminal 2 (EW) and 16 (+S) of the connector.
      3. Turn the wiper switch to INT.
      4. Connect the battery (+) to terminal 16 (+S) of the connector for 5 seconds.
      5. Connect the battery (-) to terminal 16 (+S) of the connector. Operate the intermittent wiper relay and check voltage between terminal 7 (+1) and terminal 2 (EW).
