BMW 3 Series Intermittant Wipers - Bartholomew Stormthorpe
A first timer here, although have been reading for some time.
The mill stone has a 1994 E36 3 series with 80, 000 miles.
The windscreen wipers have been working intermittantly for some months now, but with MOT looming and all this wet weather we have been having it is time to find a fix. Sometimes they function as they should, sometimes only on fast speed but usually not at all. Have fitted a new column switch which has made no difference. Suspect a failing relay, but have been unable to locate the relay. It does not appear to be on the main fuse/relay board under the bonnet.
Does anyone know where it would be or any other ideas?

Thanks & regards,

Pete.

Could be a relay fault.It is located on a bracket attached to steering column (behind underdash panel) or on later models behind glove box.A 94 model is just on the break point ,so could be either.hth
