Intermittent wiper setting not working

    As the title suggests, my wipers are working, just not on the intermittent setting, normal and fast are fine.

    I can hear the relay switch as I cycle through the wipers settings, but should I hear it "click" intermittently when on intermittent?

    Any advice appreciated

    I didn't want to lay out £20 if that wasn't going to make a difference, but on your advice and after finding one for £13 delivered, I bit the bullet. Fingers crossed!

    I'll have a look into it. If it is the relay then I'm not too fussed about paying a bit of money... it'll be a bit gutting if it isn't though

    Did you find the wipers wouldn't go back to the start position automatically when turned off?

    Haha it's a right pain in the butt! That's pretty much confirmed it then I reckon, relay issue. I'll confirm here once I know as it may help other people.

    Cheers for your replies, much appreciated!
