Has any body had this problem I usually can sort it myself but this one has me a little foxed my wipper motor will not do the intermintent wipe and wash wipe I have tried my wipper motor on the wifes freelander and it works ok even my origal one because i brought a second hand one thinking it was the motor I can hear the relay click on intermitent and I have 1st and 2nd speed but that is it if it was my switch then surly the relay would not work I.E. no clicking any body know
happy new year to one and all including rusties
 
I do not think so going dark now and daughters 40th birthday party tonight so the boss has said get cleaned up or i can not use her freelander for testing

just to note I did a test the other day and there was a trace of current getting through but probably not enough to spark into life

It might be worth checking out the switch in the stalk as well.

Mine occasionally doesn't work in intermittent wipe. Usually moving the wipers to speed 1 then back to intermittent will start them going. Its not a frequent enough problem on mine to bother trying to fix it.

Does the wiper do a single flick wipe ok? Normally if that works then intermittent wipe in the motor should work as well.

Also, try moving the variable intermittent wipe collar on the wiper stalk to every position to see if that makes a difference.

hi thanks i have tried the single wipe no problem and have tried speed one but nothing then today i left it on intermintent for 20 miles and it did it 3 times it must be a loose conection if it is dry tomorrow I will have a look failing that I will have to borrow the wifes garage my three are full up
thanks for the reply
 
Yes certainly worth checking the wiper control arm first but if no luck, is it possible your CCU could have got wet from a windscreen leak?
