Hello all. Bought an edition 30 few weeks ago.
All's good apart from when I use intermittent setting on wipers.
It seems to have a mind of its own, no regularity to them at all, sometimes they go full speed.
Also the normal constant setting will randomly stop.
Any ideas?
-
They're automatic on thet setting. I think one more is intermittent.
I know exactly what you mean although you may have more of a problem if they stop on normal wipe.
-
could be the rain sensor playing up

As pointed out, on “intermittent wipe”, the switch affects the sensitivity of the wipers and not the timing of the intermittent setting.
-
Thanks for that. Didn't realize it was sensitivity. My old car was a focus so was based on timing
Cheers for the response.

If the wipers stop dead on a constant speed setting, sounds like the motor/controller unit is dying.
My intermittent/auto wipers behave fine except at motorway speeds, where they reduce to a sluggish crawl after a few minutes. Turning off intermittent and back on restores the speed again. Weird. I think mine is dying also :grin:
The constant speeds are all fine, as is the down flick.
