hj75 wipers

Thanks Jethro,
I will try contact cleaner, but where would I get some? AutoParts or the like?

Ray

I have CRC brand, C O Contact Cleaner, in light blue & white can.
Hope it works but looking at your post below might be a bit more then a dirty contact.
Jethro

Sorry , yes any Auto parts store should have it.

Thanks V8
There's a 4 pin plug on the back of the wiper motor and that could be the relay under a black plastic cover. If I have the wipers running on intermittent and grab a wiper arm at the bottom of its sweep and pull it down towards the bottom of the screen it actually goes into the delay cycle.......... and then resumes continuous wiping. sort of seems mechanical, I don't know what triggers the delay .... relay or the position of the arms?

Thanks
Ray

Ray, I never had any problems with the troopie wipers (except the blades) so I can only guess how they work.
Other wiper motor's I had apart trigger the reversing of the arms from a switch inside the motor. The manual says the troopie also switches the two speeds inside the motor.
The way the "inspect intermittent operation" is worded in my manual suggests the delay originates from the relay. It is quoted as a 4 second delay.
I can't say the relay is where you suggest, though the plugs shown in the manual are similar. I suggest you also look for the relay elsewhere, follow the wiring harness to find it - just found another page that shows relay location:
Unfortunately its shown for a left hand drive - the relay is behind the glove box, it could be also on the other side of the firewall in that vicinity.
I'm not sure how they arranged it for a RHD vehicle but I know there is a stack of relays visible once the glove box is taken out.
Good luck

Thanks again V8

That was going to be my next plan, pull the dash out and see what I can find,its a pretty easy job in these old things, I mainly want to see if there is anything that is restricting the movement of the arms.
