Ok My window wippers are having a **** lol they dont turn off... so i think i need a new switch. i was jus wondering if there is a way i can fix my old one cos i cant find any around here.. well not for about 2 weeks? and becos it is slowly coming into winter here in OZ im ganna need them lol. Anyone else had this problem?

Or if anyone here has a spare (working one for sale
in Australia?)

Cheers

 

Mine acted the same way. Couldn't shut it off. I disconnected the wiring at the wiper motor. Sent Mark (Icemark) the switch. He rebuilt it and no problems.

Both those sites mentioned by Ted and Turbonut only cover how to fix the switch, if Hi and/or intermittent speeds are not working.

His problem is again that the wipers don't turn off. This requires replacing a transistor or re-soldering the board or both.

I have rebuilt switches available on my webstore/ site or can rebuild yours for you very cheap.

 

Heh, my wippers currently have two speeds, fast and stop

That's the next thing on my to fix list.

 

oops, double post

 

Hmmm, I always thought it was a sticking relay?
I thought transistors always blew "open"?

It does. That's the problem. It doesn't switch back closed when the wiper returns.

 

Good idea but im OZ it would be faster to buy one from the wreckers if only u where in aus
