Hi guys,
since getting the car, I have suffered a problem with the intermittent wipers.
Not always, but sometimes, they don\'t work after the first wipe.
Sometimes they don\'t even do one wipe.
However, if I turn on the indicators (left or right), they work fine.
They work fine in Slow and fast mode.
Maybe related, they seem to labour when I\'m going fast.
Any ideas?
hi i have exarly the same problem coming home tonight the interrmitted just stopped working happened a few weeks back but problem solved it self
Yep, my car is the same!
you could check all the connections first - the plug on the wiper motor, and there is a little green cable with a white plug on the column switch under the plastic surround that some people have had come loose.
hello
if its a series 4/5 rx7 then more than likely its the wiper switch itself..... well 99.9% certain as the 8yrs of owning 13bt s4 went through 3 switches :( and in the last 3 months before selling
they also melt the wire in and near the switch connectors :(
problems are dry soldier in pcb (printed circuit board)
the relay in the switch or the pcb itself
if you know a good electrician he should be able to fix at a cost
but me well if your keeping it for a few years open your wallet up big and buy a new switch as a new one will last atleast 10 years
hope helps :)
I don\'t know if the Third gens the same as the Second T2 but i had a problem that was simalar.
I changed the switch three times before i got P**s\'d off and pulled one to bits, i found there is three relays in there after a bit of reading on the net etc i found the one that controls the Int wiper action and replaced it with a new relay and i\'ve not had a problem since.
I have seen that other people have had a simalar experiance and i belive there was talk of doing a write up on the US FC forum but i\'d have to look.
