Question

Hi, hopeing some of you guys can help?,
my rear wiper has stopped returning to parked, it switches off where you turn the switch off, now because the wiper works, i reckon this has to be a nfg relay.
Ive scanned the bbs and found info on it being in the boot (97classic 5dr), ok, i find a blue relay held on a bracket with a screw below o/s rear cluster, is this likely to be the one??, before i go to the hassle of trying to get it out.

Thanks guys, ps, is this a common part or a dealer part????

check the wires in the rubbber boot in the top right hand corner when you lift the boot up (where it goes from boot to body) as they have a habit of breaking and can cause the problem you got also stops the central locking boot light and various other things. just cut the boot back repair any broken or breaking wires and retape the boot up.

Thumbs up

Cheers m8, but isn't it more likely to be the relay??, as wiper,washer,and everything else at the rear works.
I'll give the rubber boot and wiring on top the once over with a meter though just to be sure.
Anyone anymore info on this 'blue' relay?.

Cheers
Billy.
