Default 2005 wipers not working

The fuses are fine. I presume, from searching the site, that a relay has blown. I phoned my jag dealer last week, but they haven't phoned back, so would like to fix it myself.

What is the part number, where can I get it from, and is it easy/doable to replace.

Thaskn guys.

Check fuse 26 40amp in engine bay fuse box. Then check relay 4 then relay 8, also both in fuse box in engine bay. If everything ok there, either switch or wiper motor. You want to check the relays with switch on. If no power, you need to check out put from front electronic module. Before any of this though, disconnect battery 5 minutes and try again.

Thanks for the help FJT.

1. Idisconnected batteryfor a few minutes. No difference.
2. Fuses are fine - checked them yesterday after reading another of your posts.

Noobie question - how do you check the relays?

Checking the relays is a little tough if you don't know what you are doing.
Do any functions work from that wiper switch? Washers? Pull toward you from flick wipe? Hi speed? Low speed? Intermittent? Just need to know if ANY functions work from switch.

either relays or needs a motor.. relays arent expensive.. i would just do the relays first.. you will eventually need them anyway... the are prone to failure..

Default Thanks everyone

The relays worked, but they only cost me $8 at the dealers!
