j_jza80 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I would visually inspect the fuse. I would then check the resistance across the relay pins (switched!), and if that's okay, check the resistance of the wiring. Just because you have voltage doesn't mean there isn't a fault in the circuit somewhere, affecting amperage That said, I would imagine its a fault with the motor in the wiper mechanism, but there's no point spending money on a fix until you've reasonably exhausted checks/testing which don't cost a thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
