Window wipers not going off...

Recommended Posts

This just started to happen today. When I move the wiper stalk to start they will just keep going even when the stalk is returned to off position. When I turn the engine off, they stop, but as soon as I move the wiper stalk they will just keep wiping :)

Any ideas?

Three thoughts, one is the wiper stalk, the other is the park function on the motor itself - the motor will have an earth, live from the stalk and an ignition live and lastly the wiper relay including intermittent wipe function.

 

I think I'd open up the wiper relay and check for dry solder joints, reflowing them if need be

Thanks for the pointers Dox. I had a quick look at the relay and it looks good. The motor is my next stop. We had torrential rain the last couple of days and maybe that has has caused some issue? Will update later...

As it resets with the ignition off, I'd change the relay first, does the relay click when the wipers wont turn off?

The relay doesn't click, but there is a bit of a squeal from the relay when I lift the stall to engage the wipers...

I'd have a really good look at the circuit for dry joints and clean up the contacts by sliding a piece of wet or dry paper between them

Replaced the relay with the no 99 one and all is well again. Thanks for the help :)
