Title: Erratic front wipers
Post by: FOREST GREEN on 05 December 2010, 16:07

It says ERRATIC not EROTIC  :laugh: :laugh:

The front wipers seem to come on for no apparent reason   :huh:  I can be driving along and they'll do either 1 sweep then another 3 mins later, or they'll do 4-5sweeps then again 3 mins later  :huh: :huh:

I haven't knocked the stalk (b4 anyone suggests it  :laugh:) If/when it happens, I put the wipers on full speed for about 10 sweeps, it seems to cure the problem, until the next time!!

Some days it happens, some days it doesn't  :shocked: :shocked:

Any one got any ideas? Knackered wiper stalk? relay?

Thanks
Toby :wink:

I would check the relay first :

Relays are underneath the steering wheel behind the trim.
