Relay/switch? Help please...

Post by wilde67 »

Today on the way to uni half of my front windscreen wiper settings died. I have medium and fast, but no intermitant or wipe with screen wash. Seemed a bit odd as some still work, so not sure where to start. Still dont have a Haynes manual, so not sure where to find the relays etc for this.

Any thoughts?

Cheers!

Checked the fuses? right of the steering wheel there's a cubby hole, pull the back off to expose the fuseboard.

My guess would be the wiper arm switch. The contacts have a habit of wearing or going out of alignment. They are the same as the 6n, so easy enough to get hold of.

Cheers guys. Yea, fuses seem fine, so I recon its the switch. All seemed to work today though, so must just be a dodgy connection somewhere. Think il leave it be as it seems to work now, electronics isnt really my thing!
