Well... found problem #1 with the new RX. My wiper's aren't working propperly. Instead of having OFF-INTERMITTENT-SLOW-FAST, I have OFF-OFF-SLOW-SLOW. And when i mean slow, i mean sllllloooooow. Of course, i had to find out durring the rainfall, but I'm not even sure where to start looking. Would the problem be in the switch? Im not sure what would make the motor move so slow... anyone have any suggestions?

Under the dash, behind the kick panel (where the "lap cooler" vent is) there is a box, that is the intermittent relay for the wipers, it's probably unplugged, if it's plugged in, I'd suspect either the ground for the wiper motor, or the gear train in teh wiper motor is gummed up....

100% agreement.

 

If that doesnt work...might try taking the motor assy apart and cleaning/relubing it and putting it abck together...

Thanks guys, i'll pull it into the garage and check that now.

 

WJM... not sure how to put thinks abck together... but i'll try putting it back together and see if it works

Andrew was right. Found the relay, and it was infact unplugged. Plugged it back, and i have intermittent again. But the wipers are still very slow.

i've got a motor if you want it, don't have a G3 so it does me no good

Nice... MSN Message me and gimme a price. I think mines dead or dying cause now my intermittents are messing up. It will move the wiper about an inch then stop, and then another inch, then stop until the wipers are about 1/2 way, then they go and come back, then stop, another inch then stop, another inch then stop.

 

I'm gonna get a relay from the junkyard and see if maybe that might be it.
