So now that I have the wiper relay, the intermittent wipers are intermittent even in the off position! Not sure what is causing that. Any ideas?
Also, when I pull the wiper stalk, I hear a relay click but only when the wipers are in the intermittent position. I thought it had to do with activating the wipers while in the wash mode but I would think I'd hear a click when it was in the off mode as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Edit: I should have done a search first regarding the ground wire. Does anyone have a photo of where this ground wire is? |

Try replacing the intermittant wiperrelay with a known relay that works right. I had one situation where I got ghost wipes when the wipers were off; I replaced the relay and ghost wiping went away. In another situation, the a brand new relay failed to operate properly even though the part number was the same...

QUOTE(jim_hoyland @ Jul 30 2012, 11:33 AM)  Try replacing the intermittent wiper relay with a known relay that works right. I don't think that's the problem. When the brown/black wire is grounded, the wipers shut off. It could be the wiper switch. |
