Hi. I have read that the wiper switch is a common problem. I have this problem. I found on an American forum there was a link to another site that tells you how to take the switch apart to access the faulty relays, pretty easy.
Anyway, does anyone know of a supplier here in the UK for the three relays?
Cheers,

IIRC its an OMRON part, dont have the part number to hand. But a company like RS or ARD components should be able to sort you out! :wave
Hi.Thanks for the reply. Who are RD and ARD?
Cheers,
Matt
failing that CPC will do them or maybe maplins
RS is short for Radio spares, they are a big engineering/technical supply company. http://www.rswww.com/ is the link (I think).
CPC or ARD are similar but smaller organisations.
If you stuggle to find one i prob have one in my other rx TII im breaking??
Both RS and Farnell stock the relay you need - it\'s an OMRON SPCO or SPDT 12V relay - it\'s actually meant for telecoms, but it seems to be an exact fit.
Could be this one : http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSearch/partDetail.jsp?SKU=9949178 (http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSearch/partDetail.jsp?SKU=9949178)
RS part number is 376-600 (http://img-europe.electrocomponents.com/uk/img/site/symbols/newSmall.gif)for the same relay. http://rswww.com
I think that is the correct one, not sure I still have the receipt for it - I did mine about 4 years ago.
Mine has the usual wiper problem. Works fine on full speed but thats it. Will I need a new switch or relays? If anyone can help I be greatful.
Hi Ade. From what I gather you just need to replace the 3 relays. I took my switch apart, cut the back off and found the relays. That\'s as far as I got. I now need to find new relays then replace them. But to be honest I can\'t be bothered at the moment! I put the switch back together and back in the car. I would prefer to get the relays first, then take the switch out, repair it, and put it all back together in one go. Rather than waiting to get the relays with the switch in bits.
Cheers,
Matt Savage

could anyone confirm if this is the correct relay ? i looked at the relay and it appears to have 6 pins where as the one in the pic is only 4.
also on this site it says the relay that is needed is 12V, PCB relay, 8A SPST-NO/SPST-NC

could not see how to edit my post but that is the wring rd part number above. i finally found it on the site
looks like it needs to be specially ordered by rs
stock no. 2508803970
is this item still hot? Let me know
rx7pat how much for a wiper switch as im never gonna manage to replace the relays without breaking something lol
I think RS and Farnell have dropped the part now - you can still find it from digikey http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=Z950-ND
I´m a member of the dutch Rx-7 club and had the commen problem with our FC convertible. So I find out which relays were mounted and ordered them. That took me 3 month. When I was trying to remove the relays, I was 3 units further. Now I have the technique to remove the relays and solder the new ones (which are sealed) in place. Notice that the convertible and the coupe are different.
