Where is the intermittent wiper relay located in a car?

The electronic relays that are installed in today’s cars, trucks and SUV’s have to operate in very hot and grueling conditions or are subject to constant abuse. The wiper relay is unique in that it’s found inside the wiper control handle which often has selector switches giving drivers multiple settings for their windshields.

What happens to the wiper motor on a Renault?

The wiper motor on this model has a position switch that tells it the position of the wipers on the windshield so it knows where to stop. When the switch fails, the position of the wipers is not sensed and the motor will work only at high speed. The motor will have to be replaced.

Why does my windshield wiper keep working intermittently?

If the problem is not in the switch, then there could be a bad relay in the circuit (if so equipped), loose fuse, bad ground, and/or the motor could have a bad (intermittent) connection on the armature.

How does the intermittent wiper relay system work?

What happens if there is no power to the wiper?

If there is power, the motor is bad. If there is no power, although the motor could “still” be bad, you first want to trace the circuit back to the power source to figure out where the break is. Once the circuit is fixed, of course if the motor still doesn’t work, it’s condemned and replaced.
