Parts Commonality

I need an intermittent wiper relay, buy £50 seems a bit steep! Anyone either have one going spare for some cash, or know if there's anything from another car which will do the job??

i should have one somewhere, will check tomo

Cheers mate!

The switchgear was lifted straight from the MK1 Golf, so may be worth having a chat with a VW dealer.

I've looked at that, but it seems this particular relay is different

Typical!

Look at anyone breaking an early 944 as well, same fuse box/relay setup as the S

does anyone no the part number i think ive found 1

Hmm. Not sure as the PET is a little vague to my untrained eye, but I reckon one of these might be it.

Interval Relay - 477 955 531 A
Warning Time Relay - 928 618 102 03

could it be 111 955 531

terminals go as follows
......15
31...53s.....s
......53m


if it not the right 1 then ive got some others

111 955 531 doesn't appear in either the N/A or the S PET (or the 944 PETs), but it is very similar to the "Interval Relay - 477 955 531 A" part number.

its a VW one

Magnum by name Magnum (PI) by nature! Well done Jon.

However still £49 so I hope yours fits!

That's right according to the wiring diagram, but the one on my car has different terminal numbers on it

I've been out with the multimeter today, and it appears there is a short on the motor it's self between the park / intermittant terminals and the earth... got the washer working by disconnecting these terminals off the motor, so not really sure now if it's the relay, the motor or both! The relay does not seem to 'click' when you pull the switch, and if you run the motor straight off the battery it only works on the two continuous wipe speeds, the intermittant & park terminals just spark!

Anyone got any ideas? I'm all out now! Thought I had it with the relay... Knowing my luck I probably need a motor and a relay!

the motor doesnt have an intermittant or park terminal.

it has fast and slow speeds. Earth is provided by the mounting.
the other two terminals are +12v and feedback to the relay.
the feedback tells the relays if it is parked or not by either putting out 12v or earth.

Right.

I do need relay as afer some more testing by my father-in-law (who's a better leccie than me!) It seems the relay in there is completely wrong.

So Crow let me know how much you want an your paypal and i'll get some oney wired over

All sorted now, thanks for the relay mate! I now have wipers which return themselves to the park position... On to the next job! LOL!

nice 1, glad to help
