    Rear wash/wipe relay S2 Avant?

    Newsh has just inpired me to write this post. My rear wiper has not been working for well over a year and I figured it was about time to get it sorted. I have probed around and get no voltage and the motor. I don't get a wash either so I figured I stat with the relay. I bought a new one a few weeks ago but have no idea where the relay is located.

    Can anyone tell me where it is?

    Many thanks

    Lee,

    I think its in the front auxiliary panel above the pedals. Can't be sure. Will dig out schematics for you tonight if I can remember....

      Nice to be a source of inspiration

      I had exactly this problem with mine when I got the car, turned out to be the switch contacts in the stalk. Push the switch forwards and then move it up and down, or go to fast on the front wipers and then give it a push. I did this and after a couple of times it started working and it's been fine since.

      Hm, could be a job for Deoxit Power Booster!

        Its actually under the rear passenger side seat. I replaced mine a couple of weeks ago. Theres space for 3 or 4 replays in there, but mine only had the one.

            I only found it through trial and error. I'd looked everywhere else and I'd noticed wiring under there previously.

              Brilliant guys, cheers! Forums are wicked for this stuff(especially when you can't get a decent repair manual)

              @sidspud, I don't know what bodyshell you have. Is it under the rear seat in the Avant too (guessing you have a Coupe)?
              I know that most of the stuff behind the A-pillar is slightly different between Coupe and Avant.

              I will start fishing around. No wonder I couldn't find it under the steering column when I looked a few weeks ago! I was starting to tear my hair out.

              Thanks again,

                Lee, It is under my back seat, passenger side under the black trim that you need to unbolt.
