Hiya,

My wipers aren't working when I turn them on the first position... intermittent intervals...

They just stay put... every other position/speed the wipers work.

I checked the fuse, ok. The plug next to the wiper motor and sprayed it with WD40 which seems to only have been a temporary solution...

Does the wiper have a relay? Where?

Or could it be the wiper motor?

Pajero 2.8 4M40 from 1996

thanks,

Pedro

I always thought the wiper relay was near the internal fuse box but this is the wiring diagram for the 1994 model which is likely to be very similar to yours



It seems to show that the intermittent wiper relay is in the column switch  

The diagram is for a LHD vehicle - hence the "left side of IP" label.

I sometimes wonder if engineers get together and say 'Let's put the relay where no one will ever find it!"

Thanks, I'll try to clean the plug a bit more and check the relay taking the steering wheel column off.

Or one of the bolts in the MK3 Shogun in the rear diff carrier that the tank needs taking down to get it out.

well i only found where the horn relay was when i had the front wiring loom out,it,s inside a rubber sleeve bolted next to the radiator...why   there is at least 4 empty spaces in the engine relay box why not put it in there or next to the relay box if the spaces had been filled

Well,

It's not the relay... it's definitely the wiper motor.

I tried to remove it for inspection, but can't seem to figure out how it comes out.

I did unbolt the screws but it's still holding on to, my guess, is the wiper arm.

Do I need to take the wiper arm out before?!

My intermittent wipers don't always work. Then they do. Then they don't. Then they do.....
