2.2 wiper operation

Post by ian cox »

Hi,
I am looking to check if I have the correct operation of the intermittent wipe on my car.
The wipers correctly do 3 wipes every 5 seconds or so and then park before doing another 3 wipes and so on.

The question I have is: -
When the 3 wipes have finished, set 1, and you switch the wipers off, they park initially on the NS, passenger side.
If you switch them on again they wipe 3 times, set 2, and park on the OS drivers side if I switch them off.

This parking, upon switch off, alternates each time.

Is this correct operation?
OR
should they always park in front of the driver, OS?

On the other 2 speeds parking and operation are correct.

I trust I have made myself clear.

I think the bizarre two relay intermittent wipe was 70MY only. See also viewtopic.php?f=9&t=39034
Mine is two fast wipes with slow park to drivers side every time.

Hi,
Thanks for all the help.
One of the relays was broken.
So once replaced wipers wipe 3 times in round 5 seconds and then park in front of the driver.
