Wipers Not Working Properly

[CTScott]

The wiper relay is part of the stalk. There is a feedback mechanism from the wiper motor on the white wire, which is a signal fed off a cam for parking. With the both parking and low speed not working, I would suspect the stalk to be the culprit.

With all the snow/ice we're getting here in Toronto, I haven't really had a chance to look to be honest. My garage garage is currently packed with junk right now since we just moved recently

I considered the relay but thought I should have no wiper operation at all if it were the cause --guess i could start hunting down a used stalk which would probably cost alot less than the local dealer's estimate charge +parts

Thanks for all your suggestions, will keep you all posted once I find a resolution!


Edit: Wondering if any of those folks who upgraded their wiper stalk with intermittent function have a spare they're willing to sell? -cheers.

The relay in the stalk has quite a bit of additional circuitry built into it for the parking, intermittent, etc.

I have a couple of stock stalks on hand.
