Wipers won't switch off

[novag51]

When I got the nova the switch seemed to be working upsides down and no screen wash. I had a quick look and one of the plugs was disconnected so I plugged it in and the wiper switch worked the normal way but wouldn't switch off. The screen wash started to work.

I got another switch today and the fault is still the same??

dont think the plugs can be fitted onto the switch wrong, maybe wrong

Check your wiper relay, I'm sure I had this problem at some point years ago.

Found this for where the relay is:

i think???????
when you look at the fuse box on the drivers
side there is three relays on the bottom
of the fuse box, its the long one,
to double check if you
put your wipers on intermitant and touch the relay you
can feel it clicking when the wipers come on.


hope this helps

No need to stop the wipers working, never stops raining here anyways

Checked the relays, the end one is the intermittent relay, that was my problem, full of rust and water at some point. I've taken it off, wipers working on slow and fast speed and washers working but I have to park them manually, can live with that till I get a new relay

cheers lads
