Title: Wiper help
Post by: DHDamo on September 08, 2018, 07:39:19 AM
Hi guys, wipers only working on low speed. Continues to work in all 'on' positions but only snail speed. Any ideas? Fuse/relay/magic? Tia

Most likely the relay module needs refurbishing

The relay has a circuit the components need to be refreshed this corrects the problem I did it for my Gtv and guilietta

In addition to Alfapride suggestion, you could also try simply greasing/lubricating pivot points on wiper motor mechanism (might be slightly stiff).  Lubrication worked wonders on my noisy radiator fans (noisy once kicked in). A little  spray of wd40 whilst on quieten them down dramatically.
