MY04 WRX - On normal wipe all is fine, but if I switch to intermittent wipe, when the wiper returns to rest I get a faint electrical "squeak" just behind the dash??

4 intermittent modes, and it happens on all except the fastest.

It's not the wiper on the window, it's something electrical behind the dash.

Anyone else heard this? Suggestions?

 

Yea mine does that on my Classic. Don't know what it is though.

 

It's a known issue on recent models, something to do with the relay. Give your dealer a call - although I'm not sure that a reliable fix exists.

 

i have this on my sti8. the dealer said that is arcing inside the stalk. you will be able to get this fixed under warranty.

 

Have they replaced the part. Mine does it as well, 04STi, what a total P**s off.

 

I am pretty sure another member (Pete) 'Lucky Man' I think, had this on his MY05. Yes, it's thre relay for the wipers causing it. First, get dealer to replace it under warranty. If they will not, just buy another one. A relay is not expensive so is easy to get from other sources (not just Subaru) and plug and play. Best way to do it...
