Wiper problems

[rdpearsonuk]

More electrical woes with my family bus!

Wipers on fast - works (won't return to rest position when switched off)
Wipers on normal - works (won't return to rest position when switched off)
Wipers on intermittent - doesn't work
Quick single wipe - works (won't return to rest position when switched off)
Windows wash - sprays but no wipers

This problem persists 99% of the time. But if I leave the stick in the intermittent position it will randomly start working every now and again.

I have learnt to live with this but I'm pretty sure it's a black mark on the MOT?

Could this be the wiper relay? If so where is the relay and where could I get a new one from?

Thanks

Dave

possibly a comm2000 unit fault. (the bit where the stalk goes into). this controls the wipers and other stuff connected to it. about £70 new, but price does vary on features such as auto wipers, auto lights etc.

Thanks - I was worried someone might say that! I've seen relays mentioned on other forums but not sure if they are "built in" to the comm2000 unit on the 806.

Looked on EuroCarParts and they only offer 1 relay for an 806 but doesn't say what's it's for. I am guessing these are universal - as in any relay will do?
