Clicking Noise using Wipers
-> 206 Problems
#1: Clicking Noise using Wipers Author: Russhdi, Location: Cardiff PostPosted: Wed Aug 31, 2011 12:27 pm

Hi guys, the reverse wiper button/knob which you twist to turn it on has started to click when I choose to operate it. It sounds like a sparking sound.. that is the best way to describe it Confused

Any ideas?

I thought it was supposed to do that so you knew it was wiping without looking behind... At the time it made sense.. now not so much.

sounds like normal relay operation in these cars which aren't plush enough to surpress the loud click with soundproofing. The relay is also badly positioned inside the cabin.
