windscreen wiper not working all the time

Postby cat007 » Thu Jul 30, 2009 7:04 pm

Hey all
The hiace has a new trick for me. On low speed it will only sometimes work

Wiggling the stalk doesn't do anything and when its not working the best way to get it working is turning them on high then while its moving still, put it on low and sometimes, only sometimes its will continue to work on low

When its working on low it doesn't cut out and the motor sounds normal

Dodgy relay maybe?

Help please :)

Cheers
Hunt

worn bushes in the motor?
otherwise as you say dodgy relay,
try measuring the voltage on the motor terminals while it is/isnot going.
Should help you figure out if relay doing the business.

I'll get a meter out in the weekend and measure the terminals

grab another relay with the same pins from the relay box , and see if that fixes the fault. a whole heap quicker than getting test gear out
I've been a bad bad boy. I should read the rules and behave before I get spanked by an admin

f#@k you i won't do what ya tell me
