Intermittent Intermittent Wipers

[jims-terrano]

My intermittent front wipers are very intermittent, sometimes they'll work and sometimes they won't.

Am I right in thinking the wiper controller is on the passengerside of the bulkhead in the engine bay next to the inner wing? and does that box control the intermittent wipe function?

Hi Jim, is it ok on the 2 speeds, and it is only the intermittent, if so mine has a knob you rotate to change the timing, might this or the wires have failed?

Might still be the relay/control unit, but I'd go for the wear and tear on the control knob.

Yeah the two speeds work fine. The delay adjustment don't make any difference. I can leave the intermittent turned on when I stop the car and then the next time I get to it the intermittent is working again.

Reason why I suspect the relay box is because I had to remove it to seam seal after welding this year which is when I noticed the problem. I need to take a look unerthere to make sure plugs are connected correctly first just to be sure.
