What Is An Intermittent Wiper Relay

With rain coming in different varieties, car manufacturers made sure your wiper did too. With high, low and medium speed settings, the intermittent wiper relay sends power to the wipers at a specified interval, helping to clear rain at the speed you need it removed. Too fast and it can become a nuisance, but too slow and the rain can start to obstruct your view. This relay makes sure whatever the weather, your view is just right.

Common Signs And Symptoms That You Need to Replace An Intermittent Wiper Relay

• Speed setting does not work (only one works or switches randomly)
• Wipers wiping much too slow or fast at signal

How Important Is This Service?

You need working wipers to operate a vehicle – technically the sensor isn’t necessary, but it can actually still be dangerous to drive without this relay intact. If you have to constantly focus on changing your wiper speed and switching it on and off while you’re driving in likely poor weather conditions, our experts would say that is effectively distracted driving. To avoid frustration and danger, give one of our certified mechanics a call and have them come by and fix your relay.
