Hello guys

A small issue i've notice this morning with my TX2. The front wipers are not working on the intermittent setting as they should. When i flick the switch to the intermittent setting the wipers switch on and move up the screen a little bit and then stop. With them still on the intermittent setting about 20 seconds later they'll move up a inch or so again and then stop and so on. They work perfectly fine on the constant setting and on the fast wipe setting. The other issue is that they wont park either which i guess is related to this issue. Is this a internal fault with the wiper motor or is there another issue?

Many thanks

Pull the wipers away from the windscreen and see if the wipers operate then. If they do, without resistance to the windscreen, your wiper motor is probably dying on you. A new one will cost about sixty quid, a second hand one obviously less. Easy to replace.

Thanks for the reply

Pulled the wipers away from the screen however it made no difference, I also tried swapping around the relays to see if that made any difference but it didn't. Could it still be a fault with the motor itself or is there another issue somewhere

Little update on this issue

I managed to source a brand new wiper motor
Fitted it all okay however the issue still remains, One good thing is the new wiper motor is much quieter than the old one :D
Any ideas on what the issue could be at this point?

Cheers

Check the plug that fits into the wiper motor for a broken wire
