Relay for wipers?

Post by Ian and Lins »

My wipers only work on second (high) speed and don't park themselves. I had a look in the Wiki and it seems either the motor is knacked or the relay may be dodgy. I can't seem to find a relay either in the van or in the Haynes. I've still got the ceramic type fuses so assume it's an early type wiring model. Any ideas where I should look or maybe there isn't one?
Are we going on anything else?

Might be worth removing steering wheel and checking wiper stalk for continuity. Check connector is pushed fully home first.

And 5 mins later it's, 'buy that man a pint at the next Pikey!' Thanks Cov. A bit of switch cleaner then some silicon grease and normal service is resumed.
