Post by: markthespark on July 07, 2007, 17:38:32

does anybody have any idea where the wash wipe relay is on a 90
my wipers won't stop and i think its the washer relay that has jammed in the run on cycle after washer has stopped water
i know we have had a lot of rain but i would like to turn my wipers off now as it has stopped for the mo.

I'm sure I'll be corrected but isnt it behind the metal bit that the  fuse box cover screws to?

Had this on mine. Changed everything until i realised it was the relay :roll:
It is in the fuse box you can't miss it it is the largest rectangular thing in there. IIRC about £20+ to replace. Try drying it out gently and replace it, then give it a good coat of silicone around the joint. Mine was due to water ingress through the join where the cap meets the body, causing it to short

cheers will check it out this weekend  but i did manage to stop the wipers by disconnecting the yellow wire offov the wiper motor  although fast speed does not work now it means i can drive without the wipers wiping
