riggaP Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi all, As the title says, my intermittent wipers have stopped working. Normal and high speed still work fine. When I switch from normal to int, the wipers stop in the middle of the windscreen for a second then return to their resting position for... well... rest Any ideas? Its not the fuse coz normal and high speed still work. Anyone know how to get the Wiper Stalk out so I can check connections etc?

cooks44 Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Dunno about Skylines (mine hasn't missed a beat) but in other Nissan's I've got this problem was caused by a faulty "Intermittant Wiper Amplifier", as the manual called it. Normal and high still worked fine, but Intermittant would sometimes work, sometimes leave the wipers in the middle of the screen or sometimes not move. Putting in a 2nd hand amplifier thingy fixed it. They must have something similar for the Skylines...

Will get it sorted soon and let you know. Let me know how you go too Yeah, kinda know what you mean. I find myself concentrating on the right time to turn the wipers off so that they don’t end up in the middle of the windscreen! Or i end up looking like a goose cuz the wipers are going heaps fast when its only sprinkling.... aghhhhhhhhhh! My mate said to me that things could be worse; the wipers could not be working at all! I guess he’s right?!?!? Anyways, I just got off the phone with Just Jap in Kirrawee, Sydney and the guy I spoke to said that there is a 'solenoid relay' that controls the wiper speed positioned to one side of engine bay. (he actually said 'left hand side of the engine bay' but I guess it depends on where your standing...hmmm) I assume it’s the driver side as this is closer to the base of the window wipers??? This may need to be replaced. Also said that he can get us one for bout $50 and I should be able to install myself. I'm no grease monkey but I’ll give it a go! Hoping to go out to Just Jap next week sometime. Will let you know how I go.

skye Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 skye, please let me know if you get it fixed riggaP, Problem fixed!!! Picked up an 'intermittent wiper relay' from just jap for 40 bucks on the weekend. Just plugged existing intermittent wiper cable into it and off she went. It’s a brownish box bout the size of a garage remote. When standing in front of the car, it sits in the top right hand side of the engine bay... just above the front passenger side wheel arch. What was strange was, I was meant to replace the one that I already had but didn’t have one at all??? Just a loose cable with nowhere to go??? Anyways, its working now so all good. Not sure if this is same solution for your car, but if it is... should be able to pick up one of these from a local 2nd hand import place. Having a bit of trouble uploading an image of 'relay' but can e-mail to you if you need it. Hope this helps.
