Wiper relay

Post by shpongle »

Hi guys

I have a 1998 corsa-B and a few weeks ago the intermittent wiper setting started acting up. Basically it would freeze half-way and click off, then unfreeze and click back on. The other wiper settings worked grand. So I replaced the wiper relay (the black 12v 5a one), and that sorted the problem.

But now the spray-wiper setting, water shoots out and the wipers go the usual 4 times, but on the 4th one (which is the last) it freezes half-way up the screen. It uses the same relay as the intermittent wiper so I'm very confused!

Any ideas? :)

is it literally halfway or a few inches above where it should lay?

because mine does the latter and apparently it's a problem with the motor. I'm going to be replacing my full front wipers with a storm kit soon though.

are you sure you fitted the right relay for your car? and do u still have the old relay, swap em back if you do and see if it goes back to your original problem
