clicking from the fuse box

Recommended Posts

I got a click coming from the fuse box when the wipers go up and down, they still work though. fuse 5 is ok. I have been messing with a solinoid I fitted in the boot, I managed to wire it but it doesnt work again, doesnt seem to have power going to it, something doesnt seem right in the fuse area

 

cheers

Have you checked your relays?

It could be a relay that is not switching on to the high power side, could answer why your solinoid is not working.

some relays seem to get noisier with age, but they are just an electromagnetic switch, so they will click.

carefully pull out the fusebox cover plastic clips (black sqaure tops) x2, pull forward/down the fusebox cover/small underdash tray and look for relay 19 or 99.

should click as intermittent switches on/off or once on when the first/second wiper speed is started.

I've got a couple of spare sets of relays if you do have a bust one.

id like it today to be honest

you should be able to pick up a wash wipe relay 19 or 99 from just about any VW from mk2 golfs up to 1997 golf, passats, SEAT ibizas, toledos, and 2000 polos, if you can find a nearby scrap yard.

I doubt if VW hold these in stock at any branches, GSF/ECP might do for the more common relays.

EDIT: Well I think its still clicking coming from the relay but it doesnt matter what relay I put in.
