There is a relay. Its just next to the front wiper motor and to the right. Its either black or grey. Now u Just have to find a new one. But I guess a nissan almera one may fit if you cannot find a primera one.

Hi, I developed exactly the same fault as this, had it checked by my indie garage, and it is stalk failure (the end portion of the stalk - the intermittant adjustment - fails, so normal wipers work but intermittant doesn't. Sometimes the rear wipers will fail with this too, as was the case with mine. I checked all fuses whic h were fine, then took it to the garage, fully checked and definately stalk failure. I have a new wiper stalk (eBay, £19.99) arriving this week. Hope this helps. |

I think with the stalk you can set the sensitivity. Clockwise for more sensitive, so earlier wipe.
And if the stalk is set to off, then the sensor does not activate wipers either. But I'm not sure. I don't have the sensor myself. |

Oooooo I looked on Parkers. My car is a 2004 SE which is supposed to have rain sensing wipers... And there is a hell of a box behind the mirror so it may be that. I will try and test it this weekend by spraying a hose on it and see what it does if anything. But I assumed the rain sensor would either - turn on the wipers automatically if it was raing hard enough regardless of where the stalk was set or just set them to intermediate from full when I paused driving like when stuck in traffic... Something else to look into if time allows this weekend. Andy

does your car maybe have the rain sensor? big box behind the mirror.
Then it could be that it is malfunctioning or maybe the rain was just not heavy enough to make it wipe the screen. Possible check: turn the stalk setting to shortest interval (clockwise). Throw a bucket of water on the windscreen at the location of the sensor (mirror). Of course with the ignition on ;) |

From the wiring diagram, the switch/stalk looks like the most likely cause.
It contains the wiper amp, which controls the intermittent wipe.
The motor moves the arms and has the park position sensor. If your wipers wipe and park when switched off, unlikely it is the problem.
Check fuse 26. Looks like this would stop the washers working though.

Oh joy....
Thanks guys, I did do a search of the forum in case and it turned up a blank sadly. I will get the manual and take a slow read through it tonight. Thanks Andy
