Has anyone else experienced an issue with front wipers/washer not working due to a problem with the front wiper lock relay situated up the side of the dashboard, driver side, way above the fuse box (hard to reach)? I think this relay is fitted on LCs whose windshield folds down and is there to disable the wipers when the windshield is folded down onto the hood.
Searches for “wiper relay” often come up empty or missing the mark. It seems only some year-builds had relays, others had the relay integrated into another electrical part (wiper control unit?). Part search often comes back with rear wiper relay, not sure it’s compatible part.
I am not even sure my issue is with the relay itself, seems like a bad connection is causing this fault (comes on and off with road bumps) — but I am having a hard time locating the precise location of the bad connection.
Any help/experience troubleshooting this problem is appreciated!
