Title: Front wipers not parking?
Post by: mk3miniturbo on 19 December 2005, 18:23

My intermitent wipe is very...   well....     intermitent.  Sometimes it will work, the other it just keeps on going full cycle.
You can hear the relay click but the wipers dont park in the bottom position, same happens when I use the washers.
I have changed the MFA stalk as I was told by a VW technician it would most likely be that.  I have also tried a used but alternative wiper motor.  No joy?

Really p***ing me off so again any help would be oh so welcome :) :santa:

Could it be that the relay is sh@gged, just cos it clicks dont mean it works properly? Failing that, a loose connection praps?

If its anything like the rear wiper then there is a park wire. If there is a break in this wire then it will never park properly. I found this with my rear one.

Thankyou very much Mr MK2, that sounds about right.  I will have to try and find the park wire.  The fault feels like a wire that is sometime breaking down.

Replace the relay with a variable intermittant one from a MK3.  The old one will have '19' printed on it, and the variable ones have '99' on em.  If it doesn't fix it at least when you do you'll have variable intermittant wipers :)

How do I vary the speed though? I dont have mk3 stalks and I cant be arsed spending too much more money on it. Its already swallowed nearly £100 trying to get warm again :angry:

Don't need MK3 stalks:
click down
wait for 1 sweep
click up
wait for desired delay
click down

:)

hold on. So if i go to a scrappy, find a mk3, and look at the relays, i should get the one that says "99"? and then i can do the intermitent thing??
