Intermittent wiper switch on 79

Can someone confirm for me what the switch positions should be on a 79 factory intermittent wiper switch. I'm guessing the following:

From left to right:
1- push to left for wash/wiper
2-off
3- intermittent which speed is adjusted by turning knob
4- low
5- high

Is that correct?

I purchased a switch off gmachinz and it does not appear to work on intermittent.

Re: Intermittent wiper switch on 79

That is correct. Though the intermittent part of the system is not in the switch. There is a separate delay module just behind the switch, most probably your issue, it is about the size of a 9 volt battery if memory serves me correct.
