ippy Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 when you push the windscreen wiper stalk down is it supposed to do a complete wipe of the screen automaticaly or do you have to hold the stalk down?? cos when i push down and let go the wipers stop until i push it again , all other modes are fine, could this be a relay or something?

artscot79 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 it should complete the full sweep so yes it may be the relay you should hear it click on and off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yes. I would reckon that as a first place to investigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 You say all other modes fine... Does the normal timed intermittant wipe work fine, and when on normal wipe when you stop does it switch to intermittant wipe? As said relay first, but it may be a stalk issue if the above work fine..

ippy Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 i'll have a look at the relay and see at w/e (if this poxy rain lets up) i take it it will be in the fuse box behind the glove box , or is it in the engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The relay is in the glovebox panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Swap it over with the relay for the rear wiper, they're both the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
