Djianb Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have a mk3 focus and when I put my wipers on intermittent I hear a knocking noise as the wiper goes back to its stationary position. Does anyone else have this issue or know what it could be? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 You sure it isn't just the relay clicking open/closed? I get that on my Mondeo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djianb Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 It's when it goes back to the stationary position. It might be but it's annoying as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djianb Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 It goes back to normal then drops a tad & makes the click Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan_M Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Is there any clunk with then knock?HAHA. It's probably just the relay clicking open and closed, if there is a clunk you will probably have a tight wiper arm that needs some grease or a new motor to drive the arm. Take a video of it if your really worried, a relay probably wouldn't be audible from a recording.

salsheikh Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 check to see if you wipers are not loose or hitting anything under the scuttle panel. it could be hitting the wiring plug for the heated windscreen (if you have one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyMond Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have had this problem a few times and it has always been the arm being to tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yossi Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Did you solve this problem? I'm having that noise too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 You sure its not hitting the plastic below the window, mine was doing that the other day, turns out when I put the arms back on id put them slightly too low. there is the relay, the noise is similar to the click you year on the rear wiper. I'd describe the relay noise as more of a tick tick noise rather than a thunk thunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
