New relay seems to have solved it.

 

Thanks

Thanks Jonathan. The old relay came out easy enough so I’ll try a replacement.

 

Cheers

The fact that self parking doesn't work on positions 1 and 3 as well as intermittent wipe not working suggests to me that the wipe relay might be the problem, as it is involved in both these operations.

If you can borrow a wiper relay you could confirm or eliminate this.

 

A plastic trim removal tool with a blunt bent tip makes a handy safe lever to get underneath the original relay, as it may well be difficult to remove.

Dear 928ers,

It’s been quite some time since my last question… 

I’m finally getting round to putting the interior back into my MY84 928 and trying to deal with some electrical issues (for which I’m really not qualified). 

The wiper stalk seems to:
- only work on 1 (slow) & 3 (v fast).
- position 4 (intermittent) doesn’t work.
- 5 & 6 (washers) seem to work ok.
- using 1 & 3 to get them working requires manual timing when switching them off to get the wipers at the bottom of the windscreen.

I’ve taken out the stalk mechanism and can see it’s sealed / not openable. I was hoping I could get to the stalk trigger and see if there are any problems with the contacts.

Is there anything else that might be causing the problems? Is there anyone who reconditions these things? 

Any advice will be gratefully received. 

Thanks
Mike
