Rear wiper only sweeps once for every button push - doesn't stay on. Relay duff?
« on: February 15, 2009, 19:04:16 »
My rear wiper only sweeps once for every button push - it doesn't stay on. I have to press the button every few minutes to get it to wipe.

Is the relay duff?

Where is the relay situated?

When I got mine I had the same problem , sust out in the end that the switches had been put on the wrong way round ie. I could switch on the rear squirter and it would stay on but the wiper would only do one wipe  :lol: :lol:

swapped the switches over (and the little inserts with the pics on and everything works fine).. :dance:

Might be that someone has changed a broken switch for and squirter rather than a wipe  :-k

Just popped them out - they are correct switches in correct holes with the correct connectors. Damn.

The relay is behind the passenger side kick panel.
I bought one off ebay for less than £5 delivered. My rear wiper had a life of its own. It sometimes ran all the time(without switching it on) and sometimes  it wouldnt run at all.
