Stag, new windscreen switch not working as expected.

[66635]

Hi.

My wipers have never worked 100% on my Stag in that the intermittent settings was very...umm, intermittent. Sometimes it would work, other times not. In taking it off the car and trying to fix it I broke it (very silly of me) so have got a brand new replacement. The situation now is that:

Off is off.
Position 1 (speed 1) is slow speed
Position 2 is off
Intermittent (pull back on lever, it 'clicks' into place) is slow speed

And the wipers do not 'park'. Are all the new ones like this? Have I bought the wrong part? My car is a RHD Mk2, and that's what I ordered. An indicator stalk I bought at the same time works fine.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Is the new one exactly the same as the old one, it might be woth buzzing out the old one with a multi meter and checking that the new one works in the same way would be a good start.

Hi.

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

It certainly looks the same, and has the same connector on the end.  I believe Mk1 stalks are quite different, with no intermittent setting.  Sadly my old one is broken so I don't think testing it will help much.  May have a look though.

Hmmmm.... sounds a bit odd ..... my Stag was a Mk 1, so no intermittent, but this may have some useful info:
