I pm'ed Icemark about the wiper switch relay issue for my s5 (with front and rear wipers - only 'I' speed works: no intermittent or high speed) as well as email the webmaster of his website last week and never got any replies. Mazda quoted me $700 sumthin for the whole switch and no scrapyard around here have one....

Can anybody (including Icemark himself) be able to help me out with this?

 

If you were in the states I think there is a chance he'd do it for you but I think he had some bad expirences with Canadian customs looseing the parts he shipped.

IIRC he has a good DIY writeup on his website that is easy to follow. If it's not there then there is a good writeup in the archives here. I did mine myself following the instructions and it worked out great.

 

he sells the unit as a whole.... last time i checked atleast

 

I have a soldering gun but no real good experience with it... I don't need any replacement parts to do it? I just have to resolder it all?

I glanced at the DIY write up but I was time pressed at the time.

PS I'm driving from Florida back to canada with a cube van on the weekend of the 25th of april

 

You might be able to get away with just re-soldering it but more than likely you'll want to replace 2 relays (only one if you have no rear wiper). You can get them from digikey, i think mine were about $20 shipped. You should also buy a 20-30 watt soldering iron for this kind of work, they will run you about $20 too, and you'll need some de-soldering braid and some flux core wire solder.

 

digikey?

I am 99% sure that is the correct part number.
