Used the windsheild wipers last night, and noticed this annoying click sound during the intermittent mode, and just the intermittent mode. What's the purpose of this click sound? This is my first Honda, do all Hondas have this feature. I guess there's no easy way to stop this click.

You can barely hear it if you keep the top down. Caution! Be sure to drive 45 when driving top down in the rain, otherwise you may get wet.

Wipers? Intermittent mode? What? Drive in the rain? But that would mean I'd get the interior wet with the top down (just kidding)

But seriously, it is a loud relay, but I am sure the radio can fix that problem...as they say, when your car makes funny noises, get a louder stereo! =)

If it weren't for this thread, my S probably heads for the dealership tomorrow. This clicking sound was driving me nuts.

I heard it for the first time just last night too. Really scared me at first (didn't know where that rhythmic "clicking" was coming from), but then I just figured it was going to be one of those annoying little noises we have to try to ignore.

It's new wiper relay technology. Far more noise per cycle that any other car in production. Far louder than the Boxter or TT.

Have not used wipers yet. But what's up with only one intermittent speed. My Mustang GT has seven. While Honda has a super package in the S2000. They do cut corners in some weird ways.
