Are you sure that it's not the linkage seized?

Im sure its the relay. I checked the mec first and it also moves by hand now the moters removed. the moter turns when i put power through the wires which come out of the relay. I have checked the plug in the loom with somebody operating the stork and had a volt meter across it and there is power.Its an awfull lot of money for a complete unit when its just the relay.

That's the problem; there isn't a relay. The whole thing is signal controlled by the body computer built into the fascia fusebox.

Have you got a good feed on the black/grey and a good earth on the brown?

Take the casing off the motor and sniff - they usually get so hot trying to drive a stiff linkage that they cook their internal electronics.

Agreed, it's far more likely to be a seized linkage on a VW Sharan of this age. If you Join www.fordgalaxy.org.uk and look in the FAQs there is a Photo strip down of of a seized wiper assembly.

i thought the black plastic box connected to the motor was some sort of relay but any how it doesnt smell although looks like there has been some damp on the bottom of the board. I will check the earth brown wire and check that it has a good earth and feed from the black grey and get back to you. Many thanks Rich

The plastic box probably does contain embedded relays; AFAIK it isn't available separately from the motor - but Shalraxys are odd in that some of their "manufacturers" will supply sub-assemblies that others don't.

just tried the wires for feed and they are all good. I phonned vw today to try and get the electric box that goes on the motor but they dont do it on iits own. Looks like a new motor is required. Cheers for your help. Rich
