Wiper delay

Has anyone used forescan to modify the time between wiper passes, seems the 23 is a wee bit inconsistent, and to be frank, it’s driving me ****ing nuts!
I timed it, while paked, most cycles seem to happen every 4 seconds, however it happens as quick as 3 and as long as 6 seconds, rain sensing is off and we’re on the first line passes rain sensing on the toggle stick.

Are you sure it is turned past the rain sensing marks? There are like 4 levels to it.

I wanted to bump this thread as I’m still having issues, turning rain sensor on in the center cluster appears to have no effect on the position of the wiper stalk (unless all the war forward to the constant or fast constant)
it appears that the wipers typically swipe at about 2 seconds, unless the stalk is all the way forward, when stopped it swipes more often, when parked, it swipes less often.

the dealer is stumped, per the manual, if rain sensing is off, the stalk is supposed to act like a normal stalk, however after having it side the dealership service bay, and the wipers not going, that was determined to either be faulty or not what’s supposed to happen.
has anyone had similar issues? It’s quite frustrating to be honest, because the wipers will skip: chatter when driving when there’s not enough water on the windshield.

I thought they were also speed sensitive? I replace mine when they skip and chatter.

maybe they’re speed sensitive as well.
idk, though, they seem to swipe every 2 seconds at a red light

IDK if the 24 is any different but I’ve noticed the rain sensing happing even when set to intermittent. And I’ve also noticed it was speed sensitive. But to answer your question I do not know if it can be tweeted in Forescan

I could be wrong but I believe it's trying to keep the camera/ windshield clean/clear.

heck if I know, took it to the dealer yesterday for an oil change, apparently it was leaking oil from the cooler, so they’re replacing that,
they didn’t want anything to do with the delay timer on the truck, so I may see if FORScan can change that,
we’ll see.
