Intermittent wiper going to normal speed
MY02 Td5

When in intermittent mode my wipers will work fine for a variable period of time then without any change to the stalk setting will suddenly go into normal mode. Turning off then going back to intermittent they go straight to slow mode.

Thought this might be the switch as it was past its best but having replaced with a new genuine parts one, & initially thinking the problem was cured, the fault is still there.

What should I look for next? I am thinking replacing the intermittent relay?

Cheers.

I would change the relay if i was you. I have a working spare if you want it?

Mine does the same thing, tried a new relay to no avail. Sad

Park switch?

My wipers never do intermittent, and I know my park switch is dead (as they don't park, they just stop)

My park switch is working, I have not yet replaced the column switch as I was hoping to someone else would say they tried that first.

Mine would sometimes go on intermittent for a while then would just go normal speed, up until a few months ago. Now it is normal speed all the time.

I suspect the issue could be corroded wires somewhere behind the dash, possibly the earthing on the relay, or the relay being bypassed altogether.

I’d get the switch out and put a multimeter on it - see if something’s shorting or not switching properly first.
Hopefully it’s your relay, then you can use it as an excuse to put a programmable variable intermittent one in. Best of luck!
