Cool WindShield Wiper problem

It seems that my 2004 LS430 (Standard) has developed a small problem.
The windshield wipers work on the regular settings, but not on the Intermittant setting. I have turned the **** to every setting on the intermittant setting and nothing happens. Is there an on/off button that I have missed????
I have searched the owners manual and cannot find a thing.
Is the intermettant setting on a different fuse????

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Default

Your car has rain sensitive wipers. When sufficient moisture is detected by the windshield sensor the wipers should work. The wiper control stalk on the steering column has to be moved to the "auto" position.

Default Figured it out

There is a rain sensor attached to the upper windshield just under the mirror.
It had become partially detached from the window and my wipers were effected. I have re-attached it and all is working OK now.

Thank you for your help.
