Kempy 0 Posted May 13, 2009 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted May 13, 2009 Mine does this, think its just the relay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raddovr6 0 Posted May 13, 2009 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kempy 0 Posted May 13, 2009 cheers guys..what relay am i looking for.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted May 13, 2009 some relays seem to get noisier with age, but they are just an electromagnetic switch, so they will click. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted May 13, 2009 i will check the relay, were is it? I dont really know what im doing tbh cheers 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.

Kempy 0 Posted May 13, 2009 id like it today to be honest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted May 13, 2009 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kempy 0 Posted May 13, 2009 doesnt appear to the relay thats clicking as I swapped it for one from my other rado :shrug: what could it be I wonder EDIT: Well I think its still clicking coming from the relay but it doesnt matter what relay I put in.
