TD4 Intermittent wiper problem

Hi all.
Thank you in advance for reading and for any replies.

The problem - the intermittent wiper setting does not work. When the stalk is turned to intermittent setting, there are clicks. The wiper works fine on all other settings including the quick wipe.

Actions taken so far - All fuses have been checked, the wiper stalk has been replaced and wiper motor also replaced. Doing the above has resulted in the same outcome as before.

As the switch and motor are fine and it works on all settings, my suspicion would be that if there are different wires for each speed setting, the wire for intermittent may be corroded / broken?

Can anyone suggest the next steps to try and fix this problem?

Check that all the pins in the plugs are properly seated. I had the same problem and turned out one of the pins at the motor end of the loom wasn't fully home. A gentle push with a thin screwdriver popped it back into place and normality was restored.

Yeah, I found out AFTER fitting a new wiper motor too.....

Brilliant, thank you. I'll give that a try tomorrow and report back

Fingers crossed.

I had this on my old car but never did find out why.
