306 Windscreen Wipers - Wont Self Park

Hi,

Usual problem - Wipers won't self park. Took motor apart - bit of water
inside - but essentially all OK. There are 2 copper contacts attached to the
gear housing on the motor - cleaned these up - still no joy.

Haynes manual shows diagram with 1 x electronic 8-pin relay - however, mine
seems to have 2 standard 5 pin relays under the dash (+ it has a rain sensor
on the window which Haynes doesn't show).

Anyone got a clue as to the wiring of the wiper circuit using 2 relays ?

Cheers,
Tim.

 

I can try to email you a wiring diagram if you like, but it may not be
specific to your car. I would need a few more details. However this
one may do. It shows two 5 pin relays and the rain sensor.

 

Hi Nigel,

Great stuff - yes please, if you could Email your diagram voer I'd be very
grateful.

OK that's done and sent . . . .finally!!!

 

The contacts you mention are usually the self park contacts and their
position can be moved to allow the wipers to park in a different part of the
windscreen wiper arc.

Nigel,

Many thanks for your assistance. All working nicely now. Couldn't have done
it without your help.

Cheers,
Tim.

 

Glad it's all fixed. Happy to help.
