adamukcorrado 0 Posted March 25, 2006 driving down motorway last night the intermitant wipers setting stopped working, it wipes as you switch it down into intermitant mode and again as you switch it off but doesn't do it on it's own like it should. wheres first place to look? relay? if so which one?

VR6 0 Posted March 25, 2006 May be the relay or possibly the wiper stalk itself. Relay positions: http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight= Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted March 25, 2006 The Corrado's clever intermittant system is controlled by the relay - so I would lean towards it actually being the relay itself. You can replace with one from a Golf, etc, but you will lose the set-timer function. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adamukcorrado 0 Posted March 25, 2006 i haven't got a set timer function on mine as it's a 1990 model so should be fairly basic, however just been into my local stealers and they want nearly £40 for the relay and would need to be a special order!!!! :shock: so gonna dismantle stalks this afternoon and clean contacts etc to see if that sorts prob.

Supercharged 2 Posted March 25, 2006 adamukcorrado, if that doesn't work just go to a scrappy and get a relay, if you can find one of the big ones then that will be a straight fit into your car... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted March 25, 2006 yep,it definately sounds like the relay,as the switch is still providing the power by the sounds of it. and a relay from a later car will go straight in,and give you the timed intermittent :D 8) Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valerian 0 Posted March 25, 2006 If it's not the relay .....check the wiring that goes from the stalk to the loom connector under the steering cowling. This wiring is also a common fault causing C wipers to intermittently work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colinstubbs 0 Posted March 26, 2006 you can buy the intermittent relays for around £25? GPC may do them or the chaps that did the lupo wiper group-buy? seen them somewhere! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
