GLPoomobile 958 Posted February 21, 2007 Ubolt your wiper arms for a quick fix! Won't solve the prolem but at least it won't distract you when driving, until you can fix the problem. Just keep your fingers crossed it doesn't start to rain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted February 21, 2007 Pulling fuse number three might be slightly easier than unbolting the wipers as a quick fix I imagine its either being caused by a faulty switch or a sticky relay. Have you tried flciking the switch back and forth a few times? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted February 21, 2007 Actually DONT PULL FUSE THREE, I thought it was just the radio and tacho on it along with the wipers but now I've checked I've discovered that on some years its the brake lights as well so don't drive with it removed. As a quick fix pull out the relay that clicks when the wipers sweep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm rubbish with electrical stuff though, so unbolting a couple of nuts was more obvious to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
