02 1.2 Problem with front wipers - intermittent mo - GF
Hi, my first post here, hopefully it's OK. My front wipers are playing up in intermittent mode, I've eliminated a problem with the screen and blades but still when in this mode the wipers will get stuck on the screen. Usually it's just towards the top of the motion and then they won't return so I have to either flick the arm or put them on full motion.
I believe that the rear wiper uses the same relay as they do run in sync when working fine and this seems to be working OK. In fact if I put the front and rear wipers on intermittent then the rear works fine and the front seems to work on 1/2 mode, ie - when the rear makes a full sweep and return the front just go up and then when the rear goes again the front go back to the original position.
Can anything think what this can be? Could it be the relay, motors, wiring or something completely different?

Thanks!
