Rear wiper rarely works

Post by captquo »

Hello all,

My rear wiper seems to have a mind of it's own. It rarely comes on, but then only makes five or so sweeps and then stops. The rear screen fluid squirter seems to work just fine. Any ideas?

All. Thanks for the replies. Turned out to be the relay. All works fine now. Just in case someone needs the same part it's GSF part number 935VG0150 WASH/WIPE RELAY-REAR.

I also found this site useful to navigate the fusebox/relays:

I was always told to start with the basics first, glad it is now sorted for you.
