I'm not 100% familiar with the Rabbits either, but I recall reading in 
the Rabbit Bentley that in order to add the intermittent wiper 
system to an early rabbit that did not have it there were 2 things to 
do: Remove a blocking pin in the wiper switch assembly (in the 
steering column) to allow this switch to move to the intermittent 
wiper position, AND remove a jumper strap from a certain location 
on the fuse box and replace it with a special intermittent wiper 
relay which contained the circuitry which did the intermittent wiper 
timing functions you described.
