Peugeot 306 Mk 1
The rear wiper relay is mounted on the motor support bracket.
The front wiper relay is hidden behind the fuse box in the drivers footwell. This is a nightmare job so check everything else first, motor etc. To remove the relay , disconnect the battery then you will need to partly remove the fuse box by pulling out the red tag on the left of the box and ease it forward taking care not pull any wires out of the fuse connectors. Ease the fuse box towards you and twist it gently anticlockwise so that you can see behind it. You will see a blue relay tucked to the left of the jumble of wires. If you pull the carpet flap above the accelerator pedal down, you will be able to insert one finger below the relay holder. As it almost impossible to remove the relay from where it is positioned, you can make the job easier by releasing the relay holder from the body fixing by placing a flat bladed screwdriver between the holder and the plastic fixing clip. Twist the screwdriver and spring the holder away. Using your one finger from underneath and another (or screwdriver) from the fuse box access you should be able to manoeuvre it towards you, relay first and then remove it. On replacement, simply nest it back where it was originally and don't bother with clipping it back. You won't be able to and in any case, it is not going anywhere. Replace the fuse box and remove all those unpleasant thoughts about Peugeot designers from your mind as you will just have just saved yourself a lot of cash.
The relay contains a timer chip type U642B which is a bi-polar integrated circuit designed for the wiper and a web search for the chip should reveal the circuit.
FULL SPEED WIPERS ONLY?
A recent fault I came across was that I only had full speed and no park or mid speed. The problem was not the relay but the white connector into the motor body had fractured inside the nylon insulator block on the motor housing. The answer was to remove the broken connector, drill a hole through the nylon connector path to allow the brass tag to go in further and then solder the break. You can test the motor by applying 12v to the red wire (full speed) and then to the white wire (mid speed). Black is ground. The other wires go to the sweeper switch for wiper parking.
I believe the following relates to a later model.
Look at all the black relay boxes, the wash wipe has 6 connectors/wires and looking carefully you will see on the relay at each connector the numbers 2,1,4,6,8,5 in that order - this is for pre April 1997 Post April 97 a blue box, 6 connectors numbered 2,5,8,6,1,4
Hi, In my 1999 Polo it is in the gloves box under the steering wheel. You can open then take down its door by pulling it upwards and behind that you can find all the relays. As I remember number 9 is the wiper's one.
Refill your wiper fluid.
Refill your wiper fluid?
On a 2004 mercede C240 the auto wiper is not auto anymore. The wipers will not turn on in any position. I can get the wiper wash and wiper to work when pushing the button. How to trouble shoot? Thanks Tanya
They turn on when you wash the windshield.
They both pull from the same reservoir.
so the wraps that go across the back of your car do lift wiper and sometimes break it off
Push the wiper stalk toward the dash, push it more for wash. You do have an owner's manual right?
a windshield wiper blade is somthing you use to wash your windows on cars so that the windows look very clean instead of just leaving them dirty
yes just had it done take it off and pressure wash it out
bottom left hand corner of the engine bay. its got a blue lid!!
They come on automatically whenever you apply windshield wash mode with the wiper switch. When doing so it also sprays wash fluid on the headlights. Just be sure if you live up north, clean the snow and ice off your headlights and wiper assembly so as not to freeze them to the headlights.
