intermittent wiper conversion

Hi, I did the intermittent wiper relay conversion about a year ago. Every thing was going ok till this week. The intermittent seems to have stopped working. The wipers and washers work fine.
I've changed the relay and checked the fuses and wiring and seems ok.
Any thoughts[img]?[/img]

Check your earth. The earth terminals get oxidised over time and then you end up with poor contacts which lead to all sorts of strange effects. The earth crowns are behind the relay panel / fuse box. Take the relay panel off and then disconnect the earth leads from the crowns on the vehicle body, give them a clean with a bit sandpaper and reconnect. Hopefully it should your problem out.
