Still trying to figure out what this is for as it's disintegrated now and really need to sort it ASAP

 

Hi Vodkashots,

Had the same problem, I think it works in conjunction with the lights switch if memory serves me right, when you press the centre button, it fires the headlight washer and also activates the wipers for a short while so as to clear the over-spray.

Only active with the lights on by the way.

Interesting......

 

....maybe mine has too; hence the headlight washers don't make any attempt to work when I press the button!

well my intermittent wiper doesn't work, and yes your right, when i press the washer button for the windscreen it doesn't auto wipe for a bit, i have to switch it on my self to clear it. now all i need is another connector and a new relay

Not sure if this relay has anything to do with your intermittent screen wash and wipe.

I think it is only to operate the headlamp wash and then trigger the wipers to clear any over-spray.

I will have a look through the wiring diagrams.

 

p.s. it is possible to save the connector side by stripping out the female spade connectors, a bit tricky as they are barbed for retention.

(There is a bit of a knack to getting them out)

I replaced all my spade ends and re built the connector.
