The wipers had gotten to the point that the only setting that would work was the "high" speed. And, then I had to turn them off at the right time to get them to stop in the down position. Now they don't work at all. I'm hoping it's a relay and not the motor but, I'm not familiar with the 240 to know if this a common or know occurrence. Any help from the collective wisdom of this group would be greatly appreciated. Don |

without removing the motor (two screws in the end). Use an epoxy and do your
best to get the magnet in the same position inside the case. Clean the case
and magnet and use a contact cleaner on the contacts. The contacts control
where/if the wipers stop.

check the voltage at the motor when the wipers are on.

the building...
To locate the relay, then remove the carpet in the drivers position. Here
you find a black metal plate which covers the relay. This relay wil fail if
your windshield isnīt tight, and water are comming inside the vehichle.
