Windscreen Wipers

Postby BIG_MVS » Fri Jan 06, 2006 7:29 pm

Happy new year everyone!

Dusted the cobwebs off the GTA finally today after not using it for over 2 months, started first time and the battery was not flat :shock:

Then more issues....

Started the wipers and they worked but did not stop :roll: , is it a relay or something?Even when I switch the car off and restart the ignition they are still going!

P.S Stephen may I suggest a Problem/Solution section on the forum as I think it would be well used :lol:

Dont think we have enough bandwidth.. :lol:

Like Justin said, it could be a stuck relay, or a stalk problem...

I also had this problem when a R25's battery decided to reverse polarity through overcharging and make every electric item come alive (including the voice synthesizer - trust me..it sounded like it was dying in agony :shock: :lol: ), shortly before the dash caught fire... :lol:

wipers

Postby foggylad69 » Tue Jun 13, 2006 5:38 pm

Having rebuilt my wipers and actually seeing how they work..not that great a sweep ! Got me thinking about going to just the drivers side arm and altering the mechanism for a single full sweep of the screen .
has anybody done this mod.? thought it would look pretty trick too. :)

AGM can't be that soon as you are normally given 30 days notice of such things.

Technically that's possible as you only need 3 commitee members present as long as the others are all invited!

Postal vote anyone :wink:
