Afternoon,
The intermittent setting on my windscreen wipers has stopped working - selecting it freezes the wipers wherever they are on the screen. Also, they freeze occaisionally when Slow mode is selected, but lightly brushing the column stalk gets them moving again. Fast, Single Swipe and Park all work fine.
I've taken the column stalk switch apart, but there's nothing wrong in there.
Has anyone any ideas where I should look next?
Also, does anyone know which relay controls the wipers? It's not covered in the Haynes manual...
Cheers (and thanks),
Ben,

Almost certainly the fault lies on the Intermittent Wiper Control Relay.
You will have to replace the relay with a known serviceable item to confirm this.
For a wiring fault to give the symptoms you describe, it would have to be between the Relay and the Wiper motor, so the Fix you describe as operating the Stalk switch to a different position would not lend itself to a wiring fault.

Thanks for your thoughts, spanner-do.
Does anyone know where I can find out which relay controls the intermittant wipe? As it is (probably) dead, I guess it won't "click" anymore.
Neither the handbook nor Haynes is any use on this - they tell you where the relays are, but not which is which...
