Wipers won't shut off!!

Post by Bynks »

1982 240 GL 2-door Windshield wipers will not shut off unless I pull the fuse. Prior to this, the intermittent speed would not work, but everything else was fine. Question is, should I start with the switch mechanism or is it a relay?? Thanks, Bynks

The only relay listed for the wipers is the intermittent wipe relay which is located behind the drivers side kick panel.

It would be worth checking this to see if any of the wires have come loose in view of you losing the intermittent wipe earlier.
