My Mum's 1996 Ford Galaxy has front wiper problems...

The last month or so, its a 50/50 as to wether the wipers work or not. If the car takes a hard left, they work fine (suggesting water leaking in somewhere). So the motor and linkage are ok.

Iv taken off then plastic cap under the motor and it all seems dry, and the wiper motor ECU plug also looks dry.

The only thing I can think of is the relay in the fuse box which iv not tried yet. But if the relay was dogey, wouldnt the wipers never work atall?

Any ideas appreciated!

Thanks,

Mark

Its possible the contacts in the relay are worn and are working intermittently. Could also be the motor has a dodgy contact. Not much help really <_<
